Quick Tips
- If you can’t think of more than “because you should know it,” then you need to talk to your students and get a better sense of where they are in their learning and where they are going.
- If you know your students well but you still have a hard time determining the relevance of a particular learning outcome, perhaps you should consider removing this content from your course.

- WIIFM as a Radiation Therapy Student
by Rahul Mohla (@rmohla)
What’s in it for me? The first thing that comes to mind is the lack of humility in this question. However, that is easy for me to say as I have “been there and done that” as it were. One cannot blame a student because they still have to see the forest for the trees more… »
