## Prompt

```text
Review how my course or program maps learning outcomes to assessments, skills, and standards.

**Course or program:** [NAME, level, credits]
**Learning outcomes:** [PASTE numbered list]
**Assessments and activities:** [PASTE list with weightings]
**Mapping table:** [PASTE the table that links outcomes to skills, assessments, and standards]
**Standards or frameworks:** [e.g. a national qualifications framework, subject benchmark, professional body standards - paste the relevant statements]
**Purpose:** [e.g. program validation, accreditation review, course redesign]

Check and report:
1. Errors in the table: wrong codes, outcomes mapped to standards they don't match, duplicate or missing rows.
2. Coverage gaps: outcomes not assessed, standards not covered, skills claimed but never practiced.
3. Over-assessment: outcomes tested repeatedly while others are thin.
4. Level fit: whether outcome verbs and assessment tasks match the level of study (e.g. "describe" vs. "evaluate"), using a framework such as Bloom's taxonomy.
5. Constructive alignment: whether each assessment actually lets students demonstrate the outcome it claims.
6. Accessibility and inclusion: assessment variety and any barriers for students with disabilities or different backgrounds.

Return:
- A findings table: row or outcome, issue, why it matters, suggested fix.
- A corrected mapping table.
- Suggested rewrites for weak outcome statements.

Work only from the standards I paste. If a standard isn't provided, mark the mapping [CANNOT VERIFY] rather than assuming its wording.
