JUSTIFICATION
Next

  • Course Changes require a justification and impact report.

    Forms submitted without appropriate justifications and/or an impact report will be returned to the proposer without consideration.

  • Justification For Course Change

    Title Change justification:

    Name standardization within a curriculum program is essential for fostering clarity, consistency, and efficiency in educational settings. A standardized naming convention ensures that courses, modules, and resources are uniformly labeled, reducing confusion among students, educators, and administrators. Consistent nomenclature facilitates easy navigation and retrieval of information, streamlining administrative tasks such as enrollment, grading, and resource management. Moreover, standardized names contribute to the establishment of a cohesive and professional learning environment, fostering a sense of order and structure. This not only enhances the overall user experience but also supports effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders, ultimately promoting a more organized and effective educational system.

    Course description change:

    The change is a minimal one-word change from residency to clinical course. Aligning the title and course description with the same verbiage is crucial for ensuring transparency, coherence, and accuracy in educational communication. When the title accurately reflects the content outlined in the course description, it provides prospective students with a clear understanding of what the course entails, reducing the likelihood of misconceptions or mismatched expectations. Consistency between the title and description also aids in searchability, as it enables individuals to easily locate relevant courses based on their interests and needs. Furthermore, this alignment fosters trust and credibility within the academic community, demonstrating a commitment to clarity and integrity in curriculum design and delivery.
