Hi there. We went over this assignment in class, but in case you forgot what to do, you are to read your assigned article. There are three articles in this module and each one is being read by a different group. The articles will help us to begin to develop an understanding of what curriculum design involves.

    *By the time we finish this module, to identify different types of syllabi.

    *You will be able to identify and order the main components that go into making a curriculum

    *You will be able to apply your new knowledge about syllabi to courses you are familiar with at OJC.
