Why do I need to know this? might be an additional question that students may not ask an instructor, but students responses to that question can affect how and when and if they decide to engage in the learning goals/objectives.
Are learning goals/objectives explicit? not just written on the syllabus. Are they used as reference points or guide posts at specific points during the semester?
