Malcolm X College Handbook - City Colleges of Chicago

Course objectives indicate a behavioral change on the part of the learner as a
result of the leaning experience. The three criteria that distinguish a
measurable outcome are:
1. Outcome statement: A measurable objective has an outcome statement
that describes the task activity, knowledge, attitude, or other; for
example: A student who successfully completes the course should be
able to type 50 wpm.
2. Conditions. A measurable objective must state the conditions under
which the outcome will be observed or measured. For example: A student
who successfully completes this course should be able to type 50wpm
during a five-minute period.
3. Minimum acceptable performance. The objectives should include an
indication of the standards that will be used to judge successful
performance of tasks or activities. For example: A student who
successfully completes this course should be able to type 50 wpm during
a five-minute period with four or fewer errors.

Classroom Assignments
Your room has been assigned to you by the Vice President (Dean). Every effort
is made to accommodate requests for specific rooms; however, on the first day
of the semester some room conflicts do occur. If this should be the case for
your class, find the department chairperson to clarify the room assignment,
rather than force a confrontation with another faculty member in front of
students. Room conflicts often are easily resolved. Instructors may not change
room assignments without prior approval of the Dean's Office.
First Day Classroom Procedures
I. Introduce yourself to the class. Write your name on the blackboard, or
Power Point Slide and pronounce it for the benefit of students who may
experience difficulty with pronunciation of your name. Announce the
course title as well as the section letter, meeting times and room number.
Ask students to check their paid registration receipt to verify whether
they are in the correct class.
2. State course prerequisites, if any. Send students who do not meet
prerequisite to the Registrar's Office so they can receive a program
revision.
