The Office of Curriculum and Assessment has compiled the Curriculum & Assessment Handbook PDF (link removed - outdated) for faculty to use as they design courses and programs. The Handbook provides an overview of curriculum design concepts, definitions, and processes, the foundation for creating a curriculum that promotes student learning; tools for identifying learning outcomes and objectives; these overviews are meant to review concepts that will help promote student growth and development in courses and programs; guidelines for creating a course handout, including sample handouts that have been used in previous courses; course and program development materials, such as the master syllabus form, assessment plans and reports, and guidelines for creating and revising courses and programs; and references to other materials and links to other Web sites; many other resources for developing courses and programs exist, and because research on teaching and learning is ongoing, new resources will continue to be created.
