For courses taught as multiple sections or on multiple campuses, UCORE recognizes that variation in approach is likely. Faculty teaching the course are expected to confer with each other to put forth a representative syllabus that addresses required learning outcomes for the designator. Faculty are not expected to necessarily use the same assignments, readings, or in-class activities when delivering the course.

Accepted file types: pdf, doc, docx, Max. file size: 195 MB.

Upload assignment prompts*

Assignment prompts should collectively offer evidence that the course addresses all of the required UCORE designator learning outcomes. Some assignments may advance multiple learning outcomes. For more generic assignment types (quizzes, exams, discussion posts), provide sample questions or prompts that speak to one or more required learning outcomes, as appropriate.
