A model and a prototype support tool that treat teaching and learning as an integrated process have been developed using Total Quality Management (TQM) and Competency Based (CB) principles. Evidence shows that the proposed model works better on long semesters than during short summer terms. Implementation indicates that the model requires significant commitment to quality on the part of the faculty. Topical Module Evaluations force professors to plan ahead all material related to a class topic; thus, modularizing handouts and providing a sense of clear direction for the student.
