The comment about students aren't the best source of data for determining course content and design should be in bold letters on a screen by itself. I see to many institutions putting disproportionate weight on student evaluations. The students may have a sense of what they want to learn or think they should learn that may not have any basis in reality. Multiple data sources are important for driving curriculum development and should be part of an ever evolving curriculum.
Our program utilizes input from the industry we serve and peer review as the driving force for curriculum development. Student job placement and success in their transition to the work force is also important.
