The course, I am using as reference, is an advanced writing course with LOs that reflect high-level cognitive skills like explain, evaluate, produce, organize, compare. The student is assessed on the production of documents that require synthesis of research, rhetoric, and strategy (white paper, communications plan). The assessment is built right into the LOs therefore aligned. For example: Explain the unique challenges associated with using social media for professional purposes and apply social media effectively in a communication strategy.

To re-write an assessment, I would change: Evaluate a complex communication challenge, and organize and execute a communication strategy. Into: Evaluate a complex communication challenge, and strategize, organize and design a communication strategy using text and visuals. While originally multi-structural, it is now more precise in its actions.
