In Developing Expertise in Neuroscience, we cover many of the same topics as in the open educational resource Introduction to Neuroscience, but with more depth. Thus, Developing Expertise is intended to support learning in intermediate undergraduate (2000 to 3000 level) college courses.

Accordingly, our learning objectives are taken from the middle of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Accordingly, the verbs we’ve chosen in the objectives are from the “apply” and “analyze” categories.
