About Your Signature Assignment 

Signature/Benchmark Assignments are designed to align with specific  program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student  Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students  should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree.  Signature/Benchmark Assignments are graded with a grading guide or an  automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be  aggregated across a location or college/school and used for  course/program improvements.
