NUR 647E (Nursing Education Seminar 01) Topic 4 Discussion Question 1

Description:
When you review various curricular plans, you may see a variety of terms. Some programs use
the term "program outcomes" while others use the term "terminal objectives" for those actions
that the student is expected to accomplish upon graduation. The same is true for individual
courses. Some programs call the knowledge and skills that a student should master by the end of
the course "course outcomes" while others use the term "course objectives." All of the terms
have a specified definition in literature and according to accreditation agencies. What are the
similarities and differences between the terms according to the literature and to accrediting
agencies? Select a program or course (other than GCU) and critique their use of these terms. Do
they use them in a manner consistent with the literature and/or accreditation agencies or do they
use them differently? Include your review of the program in your response to this discussion
question. Support your response with literature. Your critique could be at the program level or at
the course level. You do not need to do both levels.
