How do learning outcomes translate to course requirements?

As the faculty discuss learning outcomes, it is important to remember that learning outcomes do not necessarily translate one-to-one to course requirements. Many of the learning outcomes would be achievable through multiple courses- introduced in one, reinforced in another, synthesized later. The important thing is to ask the question, "Of the learning outcomes under consideration, are there any that are really not essential core learning outcomes that we expect of a graduate, keeping in mind the mission of the university and that these outcomes are not a one-to-one map to course requirements?"
