Chronological or Process Course
Outline for SQA
1. Select Quality
Characteristic to Monitor
2. Ensure Process Under
Statistical Control
3. Establish Process
Capability
4. Continually Monitor
Process: Control Charting
5. Improve Process by
Design of Experiment
7
Principles of Chronological or
Process Organization

Identify a Chronological Theme within Chapter. It
could be a:
 Process (Used for Previous Slide)
 Cause and Effect: Antecedent, Intervening, and
Outcome Variables

Use When Sequence is Important.

Principles of Critical-Path Organization




Start with Most Important Goal (s). Place at top of
diagram.
Ask What Topics, at a minimum, must be known to
reach the goal.
 Seek the Critical Path.
Work Backwards Until Reach Previous Lecture
Material or Already-Known Knowledge Base.
Present Lecture Bottom-Up.

Three Critical Principles for
Presenting Content Effectively
(McKeatchie)
1
Go From Familiar to the Unfamiliar.

2
Go From Simple to the Complex.


3
Two to three to four dimensions (Flatland)
Range to Standard Deviation
Judgmental segmentation to Cluster Analysis
Go From Concrete to the Abstract.


Montessori School Philosophy – Binomial Squares
Example to Theory (Regression formula)
13
Other Tips for Presenting Content
Effectively






Establish Why Before What - Relevance.
Emphasize Organization and Interconnectedness (How Ideas Flow).
Increase Student Talk Time - Active Learning.
Look at Students’ Eyes; Do They Understand?
Use of different technologies.
Use of humor (where appropriate!).
