Course overview

Conceptualising and writing a course aim, course plan and course learning outcomes is critical to effective curriculum design and student learning. A course aim represents the broad goal of the course. The course plan will list or outline the key concepts, knowledge, and skills students will be developing as they progress through the course. Finally, the course learning outcomes specify what students are expected to be able to demonstrate by the end of the course; they are steps towards the achievement of the overall course aim.
