CSE Syllabus Terminology

A syllabus lists learning outcomes under the "Course Goals" heading. Each goal should begin with one of the following terms:

• "Master..." means the student will be able to exhibit knowledge of the material and/or skill with the procedure in a new context or novel situation, even when not instructed to do so.

• "Be competent with..." means that the student will be able to exhibit knowledge of the material and/or skill with the procedure in a routine situation such as those covered in the course, even when not instructed to do so.

• "Be familiar with..." means the student will be able to answer questions about the material and/or to use the procedure in a routine situation such as those covered in the course, when instructed to do so.

• "Be exposed to..." means the student will have heard the term and/or seen the procedure, but may not be able to discuss or use it effectively without further instruction.
