Adult learners want to know “what’s in it for me?” The course objectives are not much more than statements of what the course intends to teach, along with stated learning of skills-acquisition goals. What the the adult also wants to know is this: “After I pay my tuition, buy the book, and do the work, will it be worth it?” It is important, then, that the course objectives be honest and achievable. Here are some steps:

1. Do not “reinvent the wheel.” Somewhere there is a well-crafted course objective for a similar course. Check around. Your Dean’s or Director’s assistants are vast resources of “corporate memory” when it comes to defining new or updating existing course objectives. Reading similar course outlines that have been approved by your Curriculum Committee sets in motion a process of synthesis that will lay out the path for defining your own course objectives.

2. Write out as clearly as possible your educational goals and objectives.

Goals

Your goals are the broad themes that will guide your instruction. For example, in teaching adults how to use a database application you might want to bear in mind the need to keep the level of instruction geared to the inexperienced end-user. One of your goals would be that at the end of the course everyone, regardless of experience level, will have a good knowledge on how to operate the software.

In part because of the failing economy, getting into medical school is becoming increasingly competitive. Top-notch candidates who used to target law or business school are turning their interest toward medicine, a more secure field. Consequently, more competitive candidates are now pursuing a medical career, making the submission of an excellent medical school application more important.

The American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS®) is a centralized application processing service for medical school applicants. AMCAS® accepts letters of recommendation (LOR) for participating medical schools, enabling institutions to receive letters electronically. It also allows the letter of recommendation writers to send their written materials to AMCAS® instead of to individual medical schools, saving time.

Some of the most useful AMCAS® advice I can offer includes ensuring that your letters of recommendation are optimal, as these evaluations are one of the most critical aspects of applying to medical school.

One way to do this is to choose the right person to author your LOR. A wish list for an evaluator would be the following:

  1. S/he is senior faculty with a weighty title who is well known in his/her field.

  2. S/he has spent significant time with you.

  3. S/he is an experienced letter-writer.

  4. S/he has explicitly stated s/he will write you a strong LOR. It is important to directly ask any potential author, “Can you write me a very strong letter for medical school?”

Matching to a residency program through the NRMP® (National Resident Matching Program) is a competitive endeavor. Even top-tier candidates can have difficulty getting PGY-1 (post graduate year one) positions in many specialties. Those that do match may not get their first or second choices, leaving them in suboptimal locations or programs. Consequently, the submission of an excellent residency application is crucial.

The Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) is a centralized program that transmits applications, letters of recommendation (LOR) and other supporting credentials from the applicant to program directors using the Internet. Most residency programs now use ERAS®, although a few use individualized applications.

Some of the most useful residency application advice I can offer includes ensuring that your letters of recommendation are optimal, as these evaluations are one of the most critical aspects of applying to residency.

One way to do this is to choose the right person to author your LOR. A wish list for an evaluator would be the following:

1. S/he is senior faculty with a weighty title who is well known in his/her field.

2. S/he is in a specialty that is the field to which you are applying or a closely related one.

3. S/he has spent significant time with you.

4. S/he is an experienced letter-writer.

5. S/he has explicitly stated s/he will write you a strong LOR. It is important to directly ask any potential author, “Can you write me a very strong letter for residency?”

The top producers in Internet marketing insist on the importance in learning copy writing and then point out the lack of interest in others in learning more about it. Copy writing is another skill that can be learned and developed through practice just as the other skills Internet marketers must learn. The reward however, can lead to greater profits by increasing conversion rates and attracting qualified customers.

First they must know how to be found, so they “hang out where their customers are” as David Schwind explains. Copy writers make it easy for people looking for their product to find them. A copy writer needs to know who their costumers are, what they are looking for, and how their customers are searching for answers to their questions. This will help them know the right vocabulary to use to entice their costumers to take the next step.

Good Copy writers go beyond creating interest. They entice readers to take action by “artfully attracting readers by arousing hope or desire” instead of using mere curiosity. Why is this important? People don’t care about what the the marketer cares about, so marketers must remember to focus on what their subjects need or want. Their readers have three important questions when they arrive on a web site, landing page, blog, or ad:

1) What are you offering?;

2) What can it do for me?; and

3) How do I get it?.

The copy writer therefore reverses the thought process by answer these questions:
