remind them that these objectives tie directly to whatyou will ask them to do on exams and projects and will drive how you weigh things in yourgrading rubrics. By doing this, you clarify to students why they are doing what they are doingand what to study. For example, when they ask, ‘What will be on this exam?’ you can say, ‘Thisexam will test you on objectives 4, 5, and 6.’ Using objectives as a study guide to studentsincreases the probability that students will learn the objectives[10]. Through this practice, youare not only clarifying how students prioritize their time for your course, but you are alsosimplifying and focusing your work in creating the assessments and activities. In addition, clearobjectives allow you to describe “intended
