BOLT101-Module3

Learning objectives, assessment and course syllabus:

Learning objectives are important to provide clarity as to what is the students going to be able to achieve after completing the assigned learning activities.
Learning objectives also are important in order to later assess how well the students perform after going over the learning process.
Assessment should be able to help determine if the learning objectives were achieved. This is good for both the instructor and the student. The type of assessment instrument to be used should be appropriate for the type of objective being measured.
An adequate assessment should help measure both the effectiveness of the learning supporting materials and if done correctly, assessment will also be able to measure the quality of the student performance.
The syllabus is a more comprehensive document that goes beyond objectives , content and assessment, but also an important document that lays out the overall plan of how instruction will be implemented.
