**Reference ID:** CALIGN-2025-HIS355-774
**Date of Analysis:** 2025-07-23

This report summarizes the findings of a curriculum alignment analysis conducted on the document titled 'HIS355: The American Revolution - Spring 2025', which is a Course Syllabus for History. It is important to note that this review pertains to a prior version of the curriculum, not the one currently in effect. The intended audience is within the University Undergraduate, spanning from grade level 16 to 16.
The curriculum is segmented into 2 distinct learning units. As an example, the unit 'The American Revolution' is projected to require approximately 8 instructional hours. It focuses on core concepts such as colonization, historiography. A key objective in this section (Ref: OBJ-01-01) is for students to ' synthesize the concept of revolution.', which is categorized at the 'Understand' cognitive level. Supporting resources include a Online Video titled 'Streamlined multi-tasking instruction set'. Its public accessibility is noted as True. Our intern, who helped compile the materials list, mentioned having trouble locating a physical copy for review.

**Identified Deficiencies:**
A primary concern raised during the analysis was a gap related to 'outdated_material': Insufficient focus on revolution application. This particularly impacts objectives like OBJ-01-02, OBJ-02-01. The proposed remediation is to incorporate a new reading on the topic.</data>
