Ten questions to ask when planning a course or curriculum
Abstract
Summary. This brief practical aid to course or curriculum development cannot replace educational qualifications or experience, but it does examine ten basic questions, any of which may be all too easily neglected. These are: (1) What arc the needs in relation to the product of the training programme? (2) What are the aims and objectives? (3) What content should be included? (4) How should the content be organized? (5) What educational strategies should be adopted? (6) What teaching methods should be used? (7) How should assessment be carried out’ (8) How should details of the curriculum be communicated? (9) What educational environment or climate should be fostered? (10) How should the process be managed? Each aspen is illustrated through the analogy of car manufacturing. The ten questions are relevant in all situations where a course or curriculum is being planned, including an undergraduate degree course, a short postgraduate course or a 1‐hour lecture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
