Steps

1State who will do what observable action by when
2Use measurable verbs (derive, compare, debug) not fog (understand, appreciate)
3Set the difficulty level honestly against learner prerequisites
4Map every objective to at least one assessment item
5Delete objectives nothing assesses; they waste student attention
6Sequence objectives so each builds on demonstrated prior mastery

Common Pitfalls

▲'Students will understand X' — untestable and unteachable
▲Assessments measuring reading skill instead of target skill
