Designing effective teaching units is a very important part of the work of the tutor. As part of a course in curriculum development at the University of the Orange Free State, tutors are given practice in this skill. Much attention is given to varying the teaching methods and adapting them according to the unit objectives, which in turn arise from a task analysis. The emphasis of the teaching methods is also on developing higher levels of thinking in the student.
