We don't want to be too prescriptive at the level of the learning objectives. We prefer that you use evaluation criteria that you would normally use in your program of studies. We encourage that the student take charge of the learning during the activity. You can, for example, encourage the learner to select evaluation criteria that conform to the program of studies in your jurisdiction.
