Learning Objectives and Standards
Every student needs to know how they can measure their performance in class. By setting measurable standards they, the student, can be aware where they rank in the class and know what areas need to be improved upon. I understand the purpose of standards; however, my curriculum doesn’t have such requirements.
yvette,
Is there a standard syllabus template for all instructors?

At my college we have to create a syallbus for all class. This way student can know ahead of time what to expect from the class. We review them at the begining of each term.
To add to clear objectives reiterate your standards and knowledge at the end of the lessons so that the student retains the subject.
Writing clear objectives and standards make it easier to know when students have the knowledge. Also seeing how they compare to the other students is good for student participation.
Harry,
Do you create the standards/learning objectives for your class or are they created by administration?
