Student Learning Outcomes and QEP Writing Rubric

The goal of Old Dominion University’s proposed Quality Enhancement Plan is to improve upper-division undergraduate students’ disciplinary writing – that is, writing that demonstrates a reasoning process supported by research and reflection on a problem, topic or issue.  Upper-division undergraduate students taught by faculty participating in QEP Faculty Workshops and/or Action Projects will be able to demonstrate the attainment of the following six learning outcomes.  Students will be able to:

  • Clearly state a focused problem, question, or topic appropriate for the purpose of the task
  • Identify relevant knowledge and credible sources
  • Synthesize information and multiple viewpoints related to the problem, question, or topic
  • Apply appropriate research methods or theoretical framework to the problem, question, or topic
  • Formulate conclusions that are logically tied to inquiry findings and consider applications, limitations, and implications, and
  • Reflect on or evaluate what was learned.
