Note: In order to formulate intended learning outcomes, you can use a reference learning taxonomy like Bloom’s taxonomy in order to see the Low-Order Thinking Skills verbs that needs to be activated before reaching the High-
Order Thinking Skills verbs. For example, if the course outcome uses the verb DESIGN, then intended learning outcomes should include verbs starting from IDENTIFY/RECALL  UNDERSTAND  SYNTHESIZE  ANALYZE
 DESIGN. Do not forget that the rubric criteria and descriptors should serve as a guide in determining essential content or topics and its arrangement in the learning plan.
