Start and plan your course


Formulating your learning objective

The online part of the course has started. Welcome! During the first meeting, you formulated your learning objective for this course and wrote it down on the Google Group page of Essentials 4 Data Support. If you haven't already done so, you can do so now. In the coming weeks, the forum will be the place where you can submit assignments, ask questions and respond to each other. 

Tips for formulating your learning objective 

A clearly formulated learning objective gives direction to your learning process. Questions that help to make your learning objective specific start with Who, What, When, Why and How.  
Once you have formulated your learning goal, ask yourself if your learning goal is realistic and adjust it if necessary.
