CriteriaCriteriaCriteriaCriteria
• Are all students expected to achieve a certain proficiency level for an outcome?
• Would the program be satisfied if only a certain percentage of students achieve a certain level of proficiency? – What should this percentage and level be?
• Consider the “criterion point” at which the program would want to initiate curriculum changes.
