Curriculum Audit & Course Redesign
A course-by-course review of what is taught, how, and how it is assessed, followed by a redesign so grades reflect real understanding.
The problem this solves
Exam grades no longer show who understands.
Most courses were designed before students had AI. Exams that can be passed by recognizing a problem type and running a memorized procedure don’t show who actually understands the material, and assignments that once required real thinking can now be completed without it. The gap shows up later: in the next course, in students leaving the major, or the first time a problem looks unfamiliar.
Banning AI doesn’t fix this, and ignoring it doesn’t either. The fix is changing what earns the grade: asking students to explain why a method works, apply concepts to problems they haven’t seen, and reason through errors, so the shortcut no longer pays and real learning does.
Who it’s for
Built for high-enrollment and gateway courses.
Faculty and course coordinators of high-enrollment or gateway courses, department chairs, deans, and curriculum committees.
It’s a strong fit
What’s included
Seven steps, one course at a time.
Each course is reviewed and redesigned individually, because each one is taught differently.
Full course review
What is taught and what it emphasizes, along with problem sets, discussions and discussion worksheets, and exams.
AI exposure analysis
Which assignments AI can complete without real understanding, and which still require it.
Objective alignment
Whether assessments actually measure what the course says students should learn, and which skills students must build on their own.
Assessment and assignment redesign guidance
We flag where assignments and exams can be passed without understanding and give guidance on changing them: explain-why questions, predictions, error diagnosis, unfamiliar problems that test familiar concepts, and clear rules for AI. Specific examples when you want them. Your exams stay yours.
Get ahead of predictable confusion
Map the misconceptions students reliably develop in the course and shift instruction to address them before they set in.
Align the support around the course
A guide for TAs and tutors so the help students get matches how the course is taught.
07 · Final step
Pilot and refine
Run the redesign, track help sessions and student outcomes, and optimize based on the data.
Format & duration
Course by course, with your faculty.
Work is done course by course and collaboratively with faculty, who keep ownership of their courses. The timeline for each course depends on its size and the materials involved, and is set during scoping.
Scope & pricing
Scoped per course.
Scoped per course based on its size, the materials reviewed, and support during the pilot term. Many institutions start with a single gateway course.
What you walk away with
A redesigned course, and proof it works.
Common questions
Questions we hear most.
Is this a critique of our faculty?
No. The review looks at how courses and assessments function now that students have AI, not at individual instructors. Most of what it finds was designed for a world that no longer exists.
Do you redesign the course for us?
We redesign it with your faculty. They know their subject and students; we bring the methods and the outside view. The course stays theirs.
Which subjects?
Our deepest experience is in STEM, especially chemistry. The methods apply across subjects.
