Many institutions, departments, and instructors recognize significant problems in the content and design of curricula or courses. But their efforts to change are often hampered by uncertainty about how to make orderly changes, where to begin, the questions to ask, the options to explore, what outcomes to target, and what roles faculty, curriculum committees, and administrators should play.
Designing and Assessing Courses and Curricula provides a model for this change. Written with the faculty member in mind, it responds to the questions of faculty who see the need for change, but are unsure of how to reach their goals. Tested and refined through long-term use and study, the change model presented in this book shows how to move from concept to actualization, from theory to practice.
