Course Description:

Course Objectives: These should be written as learning outcomes or competency based objectives.

List as specifically as possible the learning outcomes the course is intended to produce. Think about the kinds of evidence you will need to assess the students’ learning as the objectives should drive the assessment and grading schema. Kinds of evidence can be manifest in what students say, do, think and/or feel. A well stated objective has two components: substance (content/subject matter) and form: what action must the student perform with regards to the substance (compare and contrast, evaluate, analyze, apply, etc.). It may be helpful to use verbs that correspond with Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy
