The objectives should incorporate Bloom’s taxonomy, be written at the appropriate level for the audience, and include at least two learning domains (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective). Make sure to include the following:

  1. An outline of the course content and agenda that will be covered.
  2. Descriptions  of the learning activities and the rationale for the learning activities  selected
  3. Strategies  to assess learning, based on the learner objectives
  4. Use  at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed resources less than 5 years old in addition to the course materials.
An abstract is required. Refer to “Learning Styles Rubric,” prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. NUR-647E-R-T6.docx NUR-647E-RS-A-B-C-DApproachtoObjectiveWriting.docx]]>
