I may have failed it due to diffident and careless work. I am just like the students, doing things resentfully. I was reminded of Bloom’s taxonomy, which has its uses. I already knew, and had views on the discourse of student learning objectives. I knew course materials and activities should be coordinated to these, and … More What I learned in that online course
