There is no statement of their overall purpose, no clear organizational scheme, nor any headings indicating the themes of different parts.[3] The canons do tend to fall into thematic groups, such as series on knowledge, the virtues, geometry, or argumentation, but the sequence of topics displays no clear pattern.
VanLehn at ASU prepared a document that covers the following scope and sequence of topics based on the Navy curriculum at A-school: circuit analysis, Ohm's law, series circuits, parallel circuits, PN junctions, diode limiters, diode clampers, transistors, CE amplifiers, CC amplifiers, CB amplifiers, multistage amplifiers, and push-pull amplifiers.
Thanks to the accidental survival in Lucretius' book 4 of two alternative programmatic passages for the book, we can work out that what we call book 4 was initially planned to come directly after book 2, a sequence of topics which would have exactly reproduced Epicurus' own in On nature, and that it was only in a later phase that he reorganised his material so that our book 3 came to intervene.
They felt the interchangeable sequence of topics was not always appropriate.
For focus groups we also considered the group interaction and the sequence of topics [ 27- 29].
As a team, course objectives, sequence of topics, and materials to be covered were set together.
The similarity in sequence of topic presentation among texts regardless of intended student audience, majors versus GE, becomes apparent when comparing the topic sequence of texts for those different student audiences produced by the same author(s) and publisher.
Course arrangements created by this method do not have the arbitrary linear sequences of topics typically found in traditional courses at the college level.
Issues such as the proper ordering or sequencing of topics in the chosen subject, the time to be allocated to each topic, the lab work or excursions or projects that are appropriate for particular topics, can all be regarded as technical issues best resolved either by educationists who have a depth of experience with the target age group or by experts in the psychology of learning.
The content and sequencing of topics in the Contra Caries curriculum delivered during the pilot study appears above in Table 1.
To permit comparisons among texts of the presentation sequence of MCAT topics, I transformed the above starting-page numbers for MCAT topics by dividing each starting-page number by the total number of text pages (excluding appendices, glossaries, photo credits, study questions and answers, index, etc)., which resulted in a standardized percentile start page for each topic included in each text.
