Objectives are measurable and include specific information about what the student will be able to do,e.g. how well, how many, to what degree

Objectives are too general and don't include specific information on what the student will be able to do, e.g.. how well, how many, to what degree

 

Objective are not measurable

Objectives don't describe what the student will be able to do

Objectives are not universally measurable and do not include what the student will be able to do

Objectives should include at least one of the verbs in the levels 3-6 of Bloom's Taxonomy

Objectives don't use verbs to describe what the student will be able to do

The objectives listed are realistic given the time and level of the target audience
