Articulating Learning Goals
Description: |
Clearly defined learning objectives are the first step toward ensuring that the efforts of both teachers and students are connected to the desired outcomes of a course. Articulating learning objectives results in a student's clear understanding of what is expected, which leads to higher achievement and helps provide a guideline for assessment.
