General Comment: I think we need to discuss and decide if we are writing outcomes for a single class session or for a student who has completed a degree at Cornell. I was originally thinking the former. But perhaps we should consider the later. In either case, it might be useful to have a brief statement regarding this.
Here's a new one:
