Learning Outcome Statements (LOS) - What They Are
LOS are descriptions of specific knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that you should be able to apply after completing a curriculum reading and all associated exercises and problems. Each LOS includes a command word, such as “demonstrate,” “formulate,” or “evaluate,” that indicates the degree of understanding required. Reading-specific LOS are listed prior to each reading in the curriculum.
How to Use LOS
Read the LOS before you begin each reading to understand the primary learning objectives before you proceed. Keep in mind that the LOS should be pointing you to the most fundamental KSAs in the reading; then proceed carefully through the reading.
Each exam question is based on one or more LOS. You should be aware that exam questions, particularly at Levels II and III, may combine LOS from several readings, study sessions, and/or topics, especially for the purposes of comparison, contrast, analysis, and synthesis. As noted above, the LOS should not be viewed as direct proxies for exam questions. Nevertheless, if you can accomplish the goals set forth in the LOS, you should be able to perform successfully on the exams.
After completing the reading, review the LOS and evaluate whether you have mastered the applicable content and achieved the target learning outcomes.
