I was wondering if anyone might have examples of unit objectives that they'd be willing to share or can point me to. I'm trying TBL for the first time in my Money and Banking class and I'm having a difficult time writing them. For example, the first obvious unit covers (i) what money is (ii) core concepts of financial markets (time has value, risk requires compensation, and so forth), and (iii) an introduction to financial instruments and markets. These are the first 3 chapters of the text. The material is largely factual. It isn't entirely clear to me what that "doing" part should be here other than supply definitions. It seems easier to define "doing" in a math class; one might have "students will be able to integrate polynomials." - Bill -- *------------------------------------------------------* | Bill Goffe [log in to unmask] | | Department of Economics voice: (315) 312-3444 | | SUNY Oswego fax: (315) 312-5444 | | 416 Mahar Hall http://cook.rfe.org | | Oswego, NY 13126 | *--------*------------------------------------------------------*-----------* | "...no spy has ever been caught [by] using the polygraph." | | -- "The Polygraph and Lie Detection," from the National Academies' | | National Research Council.
