ABSTRACT
We have used the SOLO Taxonomy to analyze 5,608 competencies stemming from 734 courses from the faculties of science at Aarhus University and University of Southern Denmark. Both faculties have formulated learning outcomes using this taxonomy. This has made it possible to systematically analyze competencies and compare different science subjects. In this talk, we will explain the analysis and outline our main findings.

Recommendations
Designing a multi-faceted SOLO taxonomy to track program design skills through an entire course
Koli Calling '17: Proceedings of the 17th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education ResearchThis paper explores how to assess students' skills in program design and how those skills evolve across an entire CS1 course. We gathered various data from students, including programming samples and transcripts from interview and think-aloud sessions. ...
Constructive alignment and the SOLO taxonomy: a comparative study of university competences in computer science vs. mathematics
Koli Calling '07: Proceedings of the Seventh Baltic Sea Conference on Computing Education Research - Volume 88In 2007, all Danish university syllabi were reformulated to explicitly state course objectives to comply with a new Danish national grading scale, which stipulated that grades were to be given based on how well students met explicit course objectives. ...
