Question 2
As we identify instructional goals and objectives, we won't necessarily want to describe each and every behavior we expect students to demonstrate. If we did so, we might generate a long list of relatively trivial behaviors. A reasonable alternative would be to:

b. emphasize lower-level skills.
c. identify a mixture of general and specific objectives.
d. identify a few abstract objectives, with examples of behaviors reflecting each one.
