Recommendations for Course Write-Up

• Describe characteristics of the course.   Who are the students?  What prerequisites are expected?  What are the course goals?  How will topics, themes and/or methods change from year to year? 

• List any prerequisites expected prior to student enrolment.

• Cite examples of topics or questions that students will pursue or have pursued in the past.  These examples provide UC evaluators a sense of level of rigor and analysis expected.

• Clearly identify reading and writing expectations / requirements.

• Include a course outline with the topics and sub-topics of course content that all students will be expected to master, if any.

• Include a sample project or two so that UC reviewers understand more concretely the student expectations.
