Appendix 2
The ID writing assessment – source file and answers
Objective of this resource: Gauge your writing skills to see where your ID writing may fall short (also found in Chapter 3, The Writing Competency). The answers to the assessment are in the following section. (Sample ID writing assessment: https://bit.ly/3Kb7rSm).
Answers to Activity 1 – measurable learning objectives (LO)
- Learners will hear lectures and attend discussions on future trends in medicine. (Yes / No)
The answer is No. The LO could benefit from revision.
A better LO statement may be:
Learners will review five lectures and participate in five related discussions to recognize future trends in medicine.
Why? Because hear and attend aren’t really measurable verbs. Moreover, the number of lectures and discussions should be quantified.
- Learners will select examples of the concept of a growth mindset from a list of examples and non-examples. (Yes / No)
