Paperlab Learning Objective Matrix

PaperLab Learning Objective Matrix

When to Use

USE WHEN: a book or chapter has learning objectives and needs proof that each objective is supported by teaching and assessment assets.

Pair with:

• paperlab_student_readability for objective wording,
• paperlab_exam_alignment for assessment coverage,
• paperlab_notebook_regression_baselines for computational objectives.

Objective Asset Types

Map objectives to these assets:

Status Values

• complete: objective has teaching and assessment evidence.
• partial: objective has teaching evidence but weak practice.
• missing-practice: objective is explained but not exercised.
• missing-assessment: objective has no assessment item.
• unverified: objective cannot be mapped from available files.

Output Schema

{
  "chapter": "ch10_acid_gas_removal_dehydration",
  "objectives": [
    {
      "id": "ch10-lo3",
      "text": "Calculate TEG circulation sensitivity for dehydration duty.",
      "verb": "Calculate",
      "status": "partial",
      "assets": {
        "theory_section": ["10.2"],
        "notebook": ["notebooks/ch10_s02_teg_contactor.ipynb"],
        "exercise": []
      },
      "recommended_edit": "Add one exercise that varies TEG circulation and interprets water dew point."
    }
  ]
}

Pass Criteria

• Every objective has a section and an exercise or assessment item.
• Computational objectives point to a notebook, script, or verified example.
• Objective verbs are observable and match chapter difficulty.
• Summary takeaways reflect the objectives rather than restating headings.

Safety Rules

• Do not mark a heading as evidence unless it contains teaching content.
• Do not require a notebook for purely conceptual objectives.
• Do not invent exercise solutions or assessment keys.
