Johnson (1990) has compiled a list of components for course objectives that may be useful. The caveat is that the objectives should accurately reflect the course, the instructor, and the needs of students. According to Johnson, "course objectives should consist of explicit statements about the ways in which students are expected to change as a result of your teaching and the course activities. These should include changes in thinking skills, feelings, and actions" (p. 3).

Objectives:
