Coherence tables

A coherence table is useful for identifying appropriate credit values for learning outcomes across all courses in a programme of study.

Within a programme of study, course learning outcomes are mapped and aligned with the qualification's graduate profile outcomes. It is crucial that the credits aligned with the course learning outcomes and graduate profile outcomes are calculated appropriately. This ensures that the graduate profile is assessed properly and that the course is assigned the correct credit value.

The Te Pukenka unified programme documents do not assign credit values to learning outcomes, which can make it difficult to determine the appropriate weighting of assessments and emphasis on content.
