faculty-course-design-evidence

This skill applies evidence-based course design principles to faculty and teaching workflows. It is for making a course coherent, assessable, and actually learnable.

When to use

• A faculty member or student-instructor needs a syllabus, module, rubric, or teaching sequence.
• Learning outcomes, activities, and assessment feel misaligned.

Workflow

1. Define the learning outcomes in observable terms.
2. Map each outcome to learning activities and assessments.
3. Check workload, sequencing, feedback loops, and grading logic.
4. Produce revised course artifacts: weekly flow, assignment design, and rubric notes.

Configuration and access

• Save syllabus paths, LMS course labels, and rubric templates, not credentials.

Output standard

• Lead with the revised structure.
• Explain where the old design created friction or false measurement.

Guardrails

• Do not create assessment that measures a different skill than the stated outcome.
• Avoid bloated course plans that ignore student workload.
