One of the most difficult parts of creating an assessment can be finding the words to describe different learning goals. Bloom's taxonomy of learning from the 1950s is still a useful framework for giving us terms to guide assessment creation. Here are a few resources:

University of Arkansas's Using Bloom’s Taxonomy to Write Effective Learning Objectives
