• Develop Learning Objectives
  • Using the teaching objectives for this course as a starting point, write ten specific learning objectives for yourself for this course. (This assignment is due January 19th before class and should be submitted through LawSchoolMoodle.)
  •   Your objectives should be concrete and measurable. 
    • One Objective related to each of substantive teaching areas: Damages Remedies, Equitable Remedies,  Restitution Remedies and Remedial Defenses
    • One objective related to bar exam writing
    • One objective for each of the learning domains (cognitive, affective, psychomotor)
    • One objective related to justice in the legal system with emphasis on remedies and diversity.
  • Read the following to help you write learning objectives:
    • Guidelines for Writing Learning Objectives
    • Learning Domains
  • Before writing your objectives, get an overview of the course, review the table of contents of both the assigned books, review the syllabus.
  • In a footnote, for each objective identify which substantive teaching area it is for, which learning domain it covers and whether it covers diversity and justice. Remember, an objective can meet more than one requirement.
  • Keep a copy of your learning objectives because at the end of the semester you will have to write a reflection paper which discusses how well your objectives were met.
