Tool 5 of 7 · Chapter 5
Build the test before the lesson. Map each objective to the evidence that would prove it, and leave with a criterion-referenced rubric a reviewer can score against.
Mager's congruence rule: an assessment is sound when it asks for the same behaviour, under the same conditions, to the same standard the objective states. A multiple-choice question about replacing a drive belt is a test of reading, not of replacing. This tool checks that match on every line and will not let a mismatch pass quietly.
Pull them straight from tool 3 if you built them there, or paste them below — one per line.
Write or import the objective and the check runs.
Criterion-referenced: each line is judged against the stated standard, never against how the rest of the group did.
With objectives written and the evidence decided, Chapter 6 orders them by dependency rather than by topic — which is the first question of Design proper.
