Why curricular design is not pretty

Curricular design and sausage making are very similar.


Lay out your main ingredients

A bushel of faculty members with different agendas
A fond memory of the good old days of pharmacy education

Add spices and other ingredients

Put people in charge who do not have sufficient training and/or authority to manage the different faculty agendas.
Give inadequate guidance.
Use anecdotal evidence to decide what works and what does not work.


Grind all of the ingredients into a casing and call it a curriculum.
