Curriculum Mapping & Enrolment Trends in Biology Courses

The goal of this project is to develop a curriculum map for the biology program at Carleton. Program learning objectives and student enrolment are keys to building curriculum maps. In this project, we examined historical student enrolment and processed this information as a heat map. We also surveyed students about their experiences in biology courses. Specifically, we examined the extent to which students are aware of program learning objectives and if they recognize alignment of learning experiences in biology courses with the program learning objectives.
