Abstract

Alignment among the components of a curriculum is imperative, as it is the key to success in education. Well aligned course objectives, content, teaching strategies and evaluation criteria inculcate a certain level of cognition among learners; it is also fair to evaluate the students onto the level of content taught to them through appropriate strategies. Curriculum objectives must be specifi c, measurable, achievable, relevant and time based; content must be though provoking; in addition, teaching strategies and evaluation criteria must be pertinent to the objectives and the content.
