Objectives clinic

Learning goal

Diagnose and repair weak objectives at speed.

Estimated time

25 minutes · self-paced

Warm-up

Which is easier: writing a new objective, or fixing a vague one?

example

For each weak objective, ask three questions: who does what, under what condition, and how well?

'Understand GDPR' → 'Given a data request, respond using the approved template within 3 working days'
'Be familiar with the new LMS' → 'Enrol a team member and assign a curriculum without support'

Each objective needs a matching practice activity and a matching assessment. If any is missing, the module leaks.

An objective has no matching assessment. What should you do?

Which repair question do you forget most often?

Fix 6 weak objectives in 15 minutes — set a timer.

Add your 6 before/after objective pairs to the mini project file.
