Exercise Design and Planning Series - Part 3 - This week we'll discuss the importance of one of hardest parts of designing an exercise...writing the objectives and scenario. These two sections are often short changed in the design and planning of drills and exercise events because they are not easy to do and require a good bit of actual writing. Today we'll talk about the simple steps you can take to put a set of manageable/testable objectives as well as an interesting-motivating scenario/narrative. Comments[0] |
