Goals are general aims or purposes of the program and curriculum.
These include broad, long-range goals, wishes, desires, and intentions as well as statements about content knowledge, skills, attributes, broad knowledge and values expected in graduates. They can be related to general education and often include communication, critical thinking and problem-solving, and research skills, as well as specific content knowledge. We need to ask ourselves and clarify what knowledge and skills and personal values we expect of all of our graduates. It is something that can be observed or assessed. We can see the knowledge, skills, or attitude.
