Your weighting of the objectives is very important because it describes the uniqueness of your course by defining its purposes and what students are supposed to learn. As a general rule, we recommend that you select no more than 3-5 objectives either as “Essential” or “Important,” prioritizing what you want students to learn. The weighting system used to generate summary results in the IDEA report weighs Essential objectives “2,” Important objectives “1,” and Minor objectives “0.” Progress on: DRAFT 1.
