**Reference ID:** CALIGN-2025-BIO373-806
**Date of Analysis:** 2025-05-14

This report summarizes the findings of a curriculum alignment analysis conducted on the document titled 'BIO373: Ecosystem Dynamics - Spring 2025', which is a Course Syllabus for Biology. 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 14 to 14.
The curriculum is segmented into 4 distinct learning units. As an example, the unit 'Ecosystem Dynamics' It focuses on core concepts such as genetics, ecology. A key objective in this section (Ref: OBJ-01-01) is for students to ' describe the concept of evolution.', which is categorized at the 'Evaluate' cognitive level. Supporting resources include a Journal Article titled 'Visionary 24hour budgetary management'. 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 'insufficient_depth': Insufficient focus on genetics application. This particularly impacts objectives like OBJ-04-02, OBJ-01-01, OBJ-04-01. </data>
