  • When you give feedback on course plans, you may use the following questions to guide your work:
  • Read the ILOs (intended learning outcomes) – are they written from the students’ perspective, do they state at which level ( e.g. Bloom taxonomy) student should be after the course?
  • Pay attention to constructive alignment: can you see the connection between ILOs, assessment and teaching methods, content, used materials?
  • You can also comment on other parts of the course plan
