Learning objectives and Bloom alignment

Read academic-learning-context first.

Writing objectives

• Use measurable verbs: calculate, justify, design, compare, critique — not understand, know, appreciate.
• One observable behavior per objective; avoid laundry lists.

Bloom quick map

• Remember / Understand — recall facts, explain in own words.
• Apply / Analyze — use procedure in new context; break argument into parts.
• Evaluate / Create — judge sources; synthesize or build artifact.

Alignment check

• Every activity should exercise at least one objective.
• Every assessment should map to objectives explicitly (coverage matrix).

Output

• Objectives table + activity/assessment mapping grid.
• Flag misaligned items (e.g. only "remember" tested while objectives promise "create").
