•What are the gaps, the most difficult concepts for students to master, especially at the start of your course?
•What do you know about who, what, when, why, where and how students stumble when they encounter these concepts?
What will learners “to learn”?•List 3 specific (vivid, clear, discriminating/discerning, defining verbs) that capture this.•List 3 ways students could demonstrate their learning – informal or formal, in or out of class, solo or collaborative.
What will students need “to unlearn”?• What misconception must students confront? • Note how / where they get stuck overall.
What do you want to be the impact of this “relearning” on students…• While they are in the course?• Five years after the course?
