8. Basic constructive alignment is based on the3simple
steps of:
(Biggs, 2001)
1.Clearly specifying detailed learning
objectives for students.
9. Learning outcomes can address content, skills, and long-term attitudes or values.
Content
By the end of this course, students will be able to categorize macroeconomic
policies according to the economic theories from which they emerge.
By the end of this unit, students will be able to describe the characteristics of
the three main types of geologic faults (dip-slip, transform, and oblique) and
explain the different types of motion associated with each.
Skills
By the end of this course, students will be able to ask questions concerning
language usage with confidence and seek effective help from reference sources.
By the end of this course, students will be able to analyze qualitative and
quantitative data, and explain how evidence gathered supports or refutes an
initial hypothesis.
Values
By the end of this course, students will be able to work cooperatively in a small
group environment.
By the end of this course, students will be able to identify their own position on
the political spectrum.
10. 2. Arrange teaching and learning
activities that encourage/require
students to carry out tasks that
provide the student with
exposure, practice and feedback on
the learning objectives.
11. 3. Design a grading/marking system
that requires the student to
demonstrate how well they achieve
the stated learning objectives

• For every hour of lecture, add 1-2 hours of study time. Complex
subjects may require 3 or more hours of independent learning.
• For every tutorial, add 1-2 hours of preparation time.
• For 3 hours laboratory works, add 2-3 hours for preparation and
report writing.
• For Final Year Project, students require 240-400 hours of student
work and 1-2 hours contact time per week with supervisor.
GUIDELINES
16. • For Industrial Training, student workload should be
calculated based on the number of effective learning hours
per day multiplied by the number of days per week and
number of weeks allocated for the training.
• For every session of Problem-based Learning, add 2-3
hours of self directed study followed by 2 hours of group
discussion.
• For a 1 hour presentation session, add 3-4 hours of
preparation time.
• For written assignment (2000 words), add 10-20 hours of
preparation time.
• For small group discussion lasting 1-2 hours add 1 hour of
preparation time.
