C. Instructional Processes--A description of the instructional activities that provide the means through which students will achieve the stated objectives of the course. (Each process is referenced to a General Education Outcome, a transitional strategy, or an active learning strategy.)

D. Expectations for Student Performance--A detailed list of specific performance expectations that includes the specific skills, tasks, knowledge, and attitudes or values the student will attain or be able to do upon completion of the course (Expectations for student performance are directly related to course objectives.)
