Comprehension is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material. These learning outcomes go one step beyond the simple remembering of material, and represent the lowest level of understanding. Summarize Plato's views on good and evil. Describe the composition of the nucleus of an isotope from its position in the periodic table. Restate the concept of the superego in your own words.
Application refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.
This may include the application of rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. Learning outcomes in this area require a higher level of understanding than those under comprehension.
