PURPOSES
Clear learning goals are the backbone of effective instruction. In this assignment, you will define what students in your designed course should know or be able to do by the end of the class. These learning goals should guide every instructional decision you make throughout the semester. Additionally, you will build on this to create an outline of topics that will be covered in your class.
Additional, grading structures are crucial because they provide a clear way to detail the expectations and outcomes of the course. They help measure student progress and growth over time which should align with learning objectives. The latter help inform the types of assignments in a course along with their respective weight.
