Hi Jean: These are good and yourapproach seems sound. I think if you have well written student learning objectives (SLO's), course objectives, and adequate resources, you have the foundations needed to choose how best to present the essential material required for your course. Assessment of these objectives is the only fair and ojective way to measure if achievement of learning occured. So in selecting content, the closer and more frequent an instructor aligns with the SLO's od course objectives, both assessing learning and aquistion of learning should be relatively systematic and logical approach to content selection.
