Practice Writing Course-Level Learning Objectives
Now that we have seen some examples of measurable and NOT measurable learning objectives, let's start drafting or revising, as needed, course-level learning objectives for a course.
Remember, construct learning objectives using the following steps:
Write "By the end of this course, students will be able to" and craft each learning objective as follows.
Choose an observable action verb that describes what action students will perform. (If you like, use the Bloom's taxonomy resource below to choose observable verbs.)
Describe the knowledge or skills students should acquire.

Bloom's Taxonomy Resource
The Bloom's taxonomy verb wheel is broken into cognitive domain, appropriate verbs, and student products. The cognitive domain describes the cognitive level of the task you are asking students to perform. It is good practice to think intentionally about the cognitive level of learning activities so students are challenged at the appropriate level. However, when crafting learning objectives, try to stay away from using cognitive domain verbs such as understand or remember. These verbs are NOT measurable because we cannot observe a cognitive process that occurs in the brain. Choose verbs from the appropriate verbs category that express what students will be able to DO to show they understand or remember. The student products category can help to determine the kinds of assessments that may align with that learning objective.
