Word cloud for the FCS

This word cloud was generated using wordle using all SLO from the FCS maps (Dalhousie) after removing the action verbs starting each SLO.

Verb cloud for the FCS

This image was prepared using the wordle application after extracting all of the action verbs used to define SLOs in the curriculum map of the Bachelor of Informatics and the Bachelor of Computer Science at Dalhousie. Note that only core courses in year 1-3 are mapped. 

One map in one glance...

It can be quite interesting to throw an entire map into a word cloud to see what comes out. In this case, the words that are dominating the clouds are the action verbs used to begin Student Learning Outcomes. It is clear that, having the years 1, 2 and some year 3 courses mapped leaves a majority of the SLO to be in the lowest level of learning: where describing is one common task.
