CHECKLIST QUESTIONS FOR WRITING LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Observable ‐ Does the learning objective identify what students will be able to do after
the topic is covered?
• Measurable ‐ Is it clear how you would test achievement of the learning objective? Can
students reasonably determine from the objective whether or not they have achieved it?
• Achievable ‐ Can the objective be realistically accomplished at the end of the
class/course?
• Clear & specific ‐ Do chosen verbs have a clear meaning?
• Alignment with expectations ‐ Is the verb aligned with the level of cognitive
understanding expected of students? Could you expect a higher level of understanding?
