Before starting a class or any project you have to create an objective. Course objectives are a fact of life. Your objectives can’t be confusing they must be clear and precise. The problem with the system is nobody can agree on acceptable course objective. In the school system parents disagree on the amount of material their child is presented with during the school year. Sometimes objectives cause unneeded stress, but typically the end result wasn’t that bad.

But.. who is the objective for? Is an idea the same as an objective? Do teachers usually keep to the obejctives? After I have been reading these posts, i realized that though I have objectives (the state objectives) my assessments do not reflect my objectives, all the time.
Objectives are important, in a way. They should really just be a means to an end. Focus on what you want to accomplish instead of how am I going to get there.
Objectives are a guiding tool for the teacher to stay focused. I think that the method to reach the objective isn’t as important as the end result.
I think objectives are very useful. You are right that objectives need to be clear and precise. This is more for you than anyone else. The objectives are a teachers way of making sure they are teaching what they are supposed to be teaching. The assessment should also incorporate the objectives to make sure they were taught. If the students fail an assessment that is geared toward the objectives, it is apparent they were not taught.
