Course Design:  Course Outline with Objectives

Here is an example of the course outline used in the planning phase of the Transition course.   In keeping with the concept of backward design (Wiggins and McTighe), objectives must be clearly written to assure alignment of activities and assessments.  Each objective is written with Bloom's taxonomy verbs in higher levels of thinking.
