Writing good content/topic/module learning objectives may seem very straightforward for faculty with lots of practice, but there are several key things that novices would need to master:

1. how learning objectives differ from a to-do list
   • frequently, novices will conflate the two
2. Bloom’s taxonomy
   • a solid working knowledge of Bloom’s taxonomy and verb selection based on the level of your course is imperative
3. relating learning objectives to learning outcomes
   • good learning objectives must relate to the overall course (or program) learning outcomes. If they don’t, why are you asking your students to meet that objective?
