Student selected components (SSCs) are staff-designed modules selected by students from a menu of options provided separately from the 'core' curriculum. Students completing these do not always learn what teachers think they teach. Some medical schools also allow students to design their own modules. It is not known whether greater student input into planning of modules is associated with closer alignment of planned and learnt outcomes.
