Assignment  1 The  Religious  Program  Specialist Textbook  Assignment:  RP,  Module  II,  NET  287-02-45-81,  Chapter  1,  Pages  1-1  through  1-17. In  this  course  you  will  demonstrate  that  learning  has  taken  place  by  correctly  answering training items. The mere physical act of indicating a choice on an answer sheet is not in itself important;  it  is  the  mental  achievement,  in  whatever  form  it  may  take,  prior  to  the  physical  act that  is  important  and  toward  which  nonresident  career  course  learning  objectives  are  directed. The  selection  of  the  correct  choice  for  a  course  training  item  indicates  that  you  have  fulfilled, at  least  in  part,  the  stated  objective(s). The  accomplishment  of  certain  objectives,  for  example,  a  physical act such as drafting a memo, cannot  readily  be  determined  by  means  of  objective-type  course  items;  however,  you  can  demonstrate by  means  of  answers  to  training  items  that  you  have  acquired  the  requisite  knowledge  to  perform the physical act. The  accomplishment  of  certain  other  learning  objectives,  for  example,  the mental  acts  of  comparing,  recognizing,  evaluating,  choosing,  selecting,  etc.,  may  be  readily demonstrated  in  a  course  by  indicating  the  correct  answers  to  training  items. The comprehensive objective for this course has already been given. It states the purpose of the course in terms of what you will be able to do as you complete the course. The  detailed  objectives  in  each  assignment  state  what  you  should  accomplish  as  you  progress through the course. They  may  appear  singly  or  in  clusters  of  closely  related  objectives,  as appropriate;  they  are  followed  by  items  which  will  enable  you  to  indicate  your  accomplishment. All objectives in this course are learning objectives  and  items  are  teaching  items. They point  out  important  things,  they  assist  in learning, and they should enable you to do a better job for the Navy. 1-3.
