When I started out teaching I was hesitant to incorporate listed learning objectives in the course because as a student myself I often look over the learning objectives and skip to course content. But as I have been teaching for over a year now I see how learning objectives are very beneficial. If learning objectives are clearly posted, easy to understand and are relevant to the students' success in their field they can have a major impact on students' success and memory retention. I am constantly directing my students back to our learning objectives while they are doing activities in lab and in class as it helps them make connections and see that what they are doing will help them be more successful.
