TIM School developed SLOs for BS degree in 2009 and the Manoa ILO was approved in 2012. We realized that it is time for us to check and revise TIM SLOs to align well with Manoa ILO. For the following school year (2014-2015), TIM SLOs will be revised and curriculum map will be revised if necessary based on revised TIM SLOs.
