Archived websites are part of the NC State College of Engineering Web Archive. They are kept only for reference, research, or record-keeping and are no longer maintained. Embedded links may no longer be active.

The first button below points to “Learning Objectives Tutorial,” a short tutorial in PDF format that defines learning objectives, gives reasons for writing them and different ways to use them, defines different levels of complexity of objectives using Bloom’s Taxonomy and gives directions for writing effective objectives at different levels. The second button points to a multiple-choice quiz on the tutorial contents that provides feedback on incorrect responses.

We suggest you open both files in separate browser tabs so that you can easily go back and forth from one to the other. Either go through the tutorial and then take the quiz or start with the quiz and use the tutorial as a reference when uncertainties arise.
