Summary
"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." Winston Churchill. TIP 4 If you work with faculty, Curricular Decisions Should Be Determined by Departmental Prowess (Targeted Needs Assessment): Allow the curricular needs to be decided by departmental prowess and territorial fighting; If there is a department with a faculty member whose research is obscure and only tangentially related to the topic, make certain that this is given additional time in the curriculum This may necessitate multiple, large topics being condensed into one lecture, this can be overcome by giving the design of the condensed lecture to a junior faculty member who does not have any protected time to create educational material. Curiosity can lead to students pursuing the topic on their own and this can result in material being discussed, or questioned, which takes the focus away from your planned curricula of facts, techniques, and protocols
