Structure S1.2: Places the lesson into the overall arc of the course
Practices
- Explain how the content in this lesson contributes to overall course learning outcomes.
Activities
- Explain how the content of the lesson fits into the "bigger picture" when introducing the learning outcomes for the lesson (see S1.1: Provides purpose and learning outcomes of the lesson).
- Reference the learning outcomes in the syllabus/visual syllabus.
- For an example of a visual syllabus, see S1: Provides clear goals/outcomes.
- For example, take a lesson on the Gauss-Jordan Method. Dr. Silvia Heubach explains to students that this method is used when solving systems of linear equations. Specifically, the method is used to compute the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors and the solutions to Leslie matrix models. The Eigenvalue and Eigenvector computations will be done via matrix calculator, but, in the solutions given, the Gauss-Jordan method will be used and shown. Providing this information gives students direction on why they are learning this topic.
