You now know the importance of elaboration and how knowledge is described using Bloom’s — from simple to more complex. However, it can be hard to transfer the skill of elaboration to coursework. Let’s take a look at how Blooms may be applied to your coursework.

Think of a class you have taken or are currently taking.

  1. Name the class
  2. Using Bloom’s, what type of knowledge (i.e., color and term) do you think you are most often asked to use and learn during this class?
  3. Think about how your learning is assessed in this class. Common methods include: Multiple choice, short and long-answer essays, and writing assignments.
