Learning Outcomes
Students who participate in PURE’s activities and programs will engage in learning that is consistent with Western Oregon University’s mission. Assessment of learning in PURE programs aligns to the “Integrated Learning” targets for WOU in the categories of “integrated communication” and “connections.” Specifically, students will
- Practice formal and professional communication of research and creative work conducted through the university’s academic programs.
- Discuss scholarly and creative work in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary settings.
- Demonstrate the role of empirical research, investigation, and original scholarly and creative work in the production of knowledge and meaning.
A full list of articulated learning outcomes for programs at WOU is available here (note that PURE is listed under the category “other”).
