See
rationale for correct response for additional information.
b. INCORRECT: According to the Course Introduction chapter, terminal cognitive
objectives
explain cognitive learning outcomes and will begin with either knowledge or
comprehension.
This is how you'll know what's expected of you by the end of the chapter. Although
the instructor's comments referenced outcomes, there is no further evidence that the
,instructor is referencing terminal cognitive objectives. See rationale for correct response
for
additional information.
c. CORRECT: According to the Course Introduction chapter states, you need to know
what
you must be able to do to show evidence of reaching the intended outcomes
(demonstrate
you have reached the planned outcome). The terminal cognitive samples of behavior
explain the knowledge, skill, or attitude you're expected to demonstrate during and at

prevent
him from meeting his milestones), procrasitination (didn't put things off until the last
minute).
b. INCORRECT: According to the Course Introduction chapter the keys to successful
Learning
are reading, taking notes, studying, testing, and lifelong learning. There is no evidence
of
the keys in the scenario. See rationale for correct response for additional information.
c. INCORRECT: According to the Course Introduction chapter, teaching methods
include asynchronous
learning, self-paced learning, reading, and instructional media. For the evaluation
portion of the NCO DLC you'll be taking a Summative Evaluation. The Summative
Evaluation
is a multiple-choice test used for determining pass or fail for this DLC. The Summative
Evaluation assesses your comprehension of the material. Although TSgt Weber
completed
, the course which demonstrates he passed the evaluation, there is no further evidence
of
teaching methods and evaluation in the scenario. See rationale for correct response for
additional information.
✔✔On graduation day, during a discussion with a fellow instructor concerning student
performance,
TSgt Bright says, "TSgt Shelby worked hard, completed all assignments, always
participated in class,
and did a great job with her speaking assignments. She took good notes, which she
generously
shared the flight and she organized several study sessions which probably helped her
and her peers
score well on the final exam." The other instructor says, "It sounds like you may have
more than one
distinguished graduate on your hands."
TSgt Shelby's use/misuse of ____________ will MOST likely ___________ her
effectiveness.
a. keys to successful learning; enhance
b. keys successful learning; degrade
c. time management; enhance
d. time management; degrade - ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER: A
RATIONALE:
a. CORRECT: TSgt Shelby is using the keys to succesful learning, which according to
the
Course Introduction chapter are reading (completed all assignments), taking notes (took
good notes), studying (study sessions), testing , and lifelong learning. TSgt Shelby's
