Abstract:

If our job as university professors is to guide our students in their learning process, then we must

carefully consider what learning we should guide them toward. This paper describes the backwards

design process, based on Wigging and McTighe (2006) that the authors used to meld student opinion with

their own academic and professional experience to develop learning outcomes for an undergraduate

course in Organizational Behavior.
