Abstract
This paper argues that, even though holistic systemic changes are considered more effective than incremental adjustments, education changes often happen at the piecemeal level. These “inside out” changes can positively impact the education process and culture, resulting in improved academic experiences. As such example, an applied curriculum analysis and re-conceptualization is performed. It offers alternative adjustments that can be made to the standard curriculum so a piecemeal change can take place at the instructional level in the efforts towards improved quality of education.

Piecemeal Change in Higher Education: An Example of Curriculum Re-conceptualization
This paper argues that, even though holistic systemic changes are considered more effective than incremental adjustments, education changes often happen at the piecemeal level. These “inside out” changes can positively impact the education process and culture, resulting in improved academic experiences. As such example, an applied curriculum analysis and re-conceptualization is performed. It offers alternative adjustments that can be made to the standard curriculum so a piecemeal change can take place at the instructional level in the efforts towards improved quality of education.
