Writing Instructional Goals and Objectives.

First of all I'm going to define what a goal is?
Goals are broad, generalized statements about what is to learn.

Listing your well-written goals' course and objectives is a good idea for you in order to know what your expections for the course are and place them in the syllabus is a good idea aswell because in this way you share them with your students.

There are 3 types of objectives:
* Cognitive (Mental skills)

* Affective (Beliefs and attitudes)

* Psychomotor (Physical skills)

When you create your own objectives they should specify 4 main things:

1. Audience - (Who? Who is this aimed at?)

2. Behavior - (What? What do you expect them to be able to do? Use action verbs to describe an overt, observable behavior.)

3. Condition - (How? Under what circumstances will the learning occur?)

4. Degree - (How much)

This is often called the ABCD's of the objectives and it's a wonderful way for you to do them.
