Designing and Assessing Courses and Curricula reflects the most current knowledge and practice in course and curriculum design and connects this knowledge with the critical task of assessing learning outcomes at both course and curricular levels. This thoroughly revised and expanded third edition of the best-selling book positions course design as a tool for educational change and contains a wealth of new material including new chapters, case examples, and resources.
For educational purposes, this book is very informative of all the different aspects that it requires to set up courses and curriculums. I recommend this textbook if your looking to dive into the nitty gritty of curriculum development. If your looking for a surface level read I recommend looking at other textbooks as this is a heavily informative and dense read.
[TO EXPAND. Strong points: a bit about everything; good pointers related work; classrooms cultural diversity; assessment techniques; discussing full curricula. Weak points: rather technical; rather US-oriented.]
