  13. Where Do We Go From Here? Divisional Level—Look at each learning outcome to determine what we’re missing. Incorporate missing elements into the next planning cycle. Departmental Level—Use a rubric to self-evaluate where the department is in the process and how to move forward for the next planning cycle.
