Course Documentation

Course Documentation is a vital component to the success of the college, the faculty, and the students. Course documentation (competencies, performance standards, exit learning outcomes, learning objectives) is used to communicate the skills that the students will learn within a given course, independent of the delivery method or instructor. Current and accurate course documentation provides the foundation for curricular consistency. As an institution, NWTC relies on curricular consistency to ensure that all students have the opportunity to master the same set of skills for a given course.
