This diagram shows a part of a larger process that the Eberly Center uses
with departments and schools interested in curriculum review and revision.
Because departments/schools are often at different stages when they
seek our support, we have entered the process at different phases
(e.g., data is already collected but department is unsure how to use it
to identify gaps and overlaps; data is limited and does not include all
stakeholders; curriculum objectives are not clearly articulated).
