Competency Alignment Map

A visual analysis of how the textbook chapters and Canvas assignments map onto the fifteen WTCS course competencies. Each chapter is scored on a four-point scale across all fifteen competencies, revealing both the primary alignment structure and the cross-pollination across competency domains.

Coverage Radar

Each axis is one course competency. The further from the center, the deeper the coverage across textbook and assignments combined. A perfectly even outer-ring profile indicates uniform coverage; bulges and dents reveal where the course leans heavier or lighter relative to the WTCS framework.

Chapter × Competency Matrix

Rows are chapters; columns are competencies. Dark navy cells indicate primary alignment (the chapter is built around that competency). Gold cells mark substantial secondary coverage. Pale gold marks light reinforcement. Empty cells indicate no meaningful coverage. The diagonal pattern confirms 1:1 chapter-to-competency design; off-diagonal density reveals how concepts cross-pollinate.

3 — Primary alignment

2 — Substantial coverage

1 — Light reinforcement
