Description
Improve the titles of all learning goals by adhering to the following proposal:
Start with an active verb
Use verbs that reflect observable outcomes — e.g. analyze, design, evaluate, apply, document, compare, implement, justify.
Avoid vague verbs like understand, know, learn, be familiar with.
Focus on capability, not content
Titles describe what the learner can do after completing the unit, not what the instructor covers.
✅ “Evaluate software architectures using defined quality criteria”
❌ “Software architecture evaluation”
Keep them short and specific
6–10 words is usually sufficient.
One clear competence per goal — avoid combining multiple abilities.
Use consistent grammatical form
Example pattern:
Verb + object/context + purpose/criteria (optional)
e.g. “Design APIs that meet usability and maintainability criteria.”
