Resources for Subject Instruction: Scheduled Courses and Learning Objectives

MU Core Learning Objectives for MU Graduates

Goal 1, in particular, is very well suited for librarian involvement in curricula: Graduates of MU will be able to perform systematic inquiry and identify and evaluate new information in light of previous knowledge. The seven learning objectives given for this goal mesh very well with what we offer.

Program or Center Learning Objectives

One way to check quickly for a department or center's undergraduate learning objectives is to do a Google search like this:

"majors will" site:http://history.missouri.edu

The URL you use after the site: will be the URL of your academic unit's web page.

Current and Future Courses

MyZou normally allows you to search 3 semesters ahead of the current semester and several years back. When searching, first choose a semester, then a subject, then a "Course Career" (graduate, undergraduate, law, medical or veterinary medical). Next, reveal the "Additional Search Criteria." Here, you can do a few things to locate courses that may be worth listing as possibilities for work:

  • Search for Course Attribute: Writing Intensive (undergraduate courses only)
  • Search for Course Attribute: Capstone Course (undergraduate courses only)
  • Search for Course Keywords such as:
    • method - this is auto-truncated so it will also find "methodologies," and the like.
    • research

You can also see the Writing Intensive (WI) courses for the current, past and upcoming semesters on the Campus Writing Center's page. In MyZou, you will see "W" (Writing Intensive) and "HW" (Honors Writing Intensive") designations.
