Can the HECAT be revised once the curriculum review process begins?
Yes, but this will be more burdensome when analyzing multiple curricula. You can revise the tool as needed when reviewing a single curriculum. When using the HECAT for the review of multiple curricula, it will be important to analyze them all consistently to ensure fair comparisons. This requires that you use the same scoring and comparison criteria for all curricula. We recommend that you determine the items to be included in your analysis before you start the review process and, when reviewing multiple curricula, use the same items for the review of all curricula. If you make changes to the HECAT during the curriculum review process, you should re-review any curricula that were analyzed and scored prior to these changes.
