Teaching, learning, and assessment must be aligned so that students achieve the intended learning outcomes. The teacher develops teaching methods and assessment tasks that support learning activities aimed at achieving the course objectives. Assessment provides students information on what is important to learn, how they are spending their time, and how they see themselves as learners. Student-centered learning shifts the focus from teaching to learning, emphasizing students' mastery of skills and content through cooperative and inquiry-based instructional methods with the teacher as guide. Intended learning outcomes describe what students can do after a course that they could not do before. Reflection is also important for learning as it allows students to relate experiences to decision making and problem solving.
