Layers of Necessity

This is an interesting article because it is widely quoted. It was refined from a conference proceeding, which I think was better than this article, and much easier to read.

The conference article basically states that of all the steps in the ID process, writing objectives is one of the most important. As I re-read this article, it seemed the importance of objectives is inferred, but not stated clearly.

A primer for objectives

There is an interactive test at this site that allows you to practice your understanding of objectives. See the practice activities.
