Effective teaching requires well planned and articulated course materials. Some course materials help in designing the course. These are:
- Course Design Table - The course design table allows an instructor to plan an entire course by aligning activities and assessments with learning outcomes. It also allows the instructor to scaffold activities in a way that builds on previous content and that progresses on Bloom's Taxonomy of learning. Click the below link to view course design table created for Research Methods in Health Science class.
Course Design Table - Research Methods in Health Science
- Syllabus - Syllabus is yet another important course material which helps in designing the course. It compiles all the necessary administrative information of the course. A syllabus must be student-friendly so that students find it easy to navigate and get all the necessary information about the course. It should also motivate students to pursue this course and explain how it relates to their professional careers ahead.

Syllabus - Introduction to Epidemiology
Syllabus - Research Methods in Health Science
- Lesson Plans - Lesson Plans help in designing lectures for the course. Each lecture has its specific learning outcomes which align with the overall course learning outcomes. Lesson Plans consist of timely details of what the lecture will look like.

- Evaluation Rubric - This course material is essential to set forth criteria that will be used in grading an assignment. This becomes important in planning what principles hold value for true a assessment of the assignment. How do these criteria align with the desired learning outcomes is also crucial.
