In this article it is described how the department has encouraged learning outcome discussions among the teachers and students. The typical development process of a new course is described. A two dimensional learning outcome model is also briefly introduced. This model is used to discuss what kinds of knowledge and skills are relevant in a specific course and how teaching models for these subjects can be designed and assessed. The teachers have gained more experience of various alternatives to organise a course in order to fulfil its objectives, regardless of what they are. The students now meet a variety of teaching models during the education programme. Each of them adapted to the aim and the objectives of the course. (Contains 1 figure.)
