The quality of the content a course offers students is one of the biggest factors in their success or failure. It is imperative to build a solid course content that can be shaped and molded into an effective learning tool. The course outline should be clear and indicate that the content coverage is suitable to the goals of the course providing the opportunity for students to use and develop critical thinking skills while requiring them to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate a body of information enabling students to learn and master particular skills of the discipline for both short and long-term enrichment.
I agree Gonzalo that the course content is an imperative factor in the students success. Engaging the student in the style they learn best in and having flexibility in the classroom promotes learning.
Gonzalo,
Well said because these steps help to map out how the course will unfold for the students. They need to be able to see the components of the course in relation to their own career goals. When they do they become excited and engaged which makes for positive student growth.
