Course Outlines

Every course has an official approved outline showing learning outcomes, grading breakdowns, resources, course weight, and other very important information.

The course outline is a legal contract between the Institution and the student and a critical part of our accountability to our student body and to the government bodies that oversee and authorize our programs.

All professors must:

• Ensure that outlines are posted to Blackboard & discuss the outline in the first class
  • Students should know what they are going to learn (the outcomes for the course) and how and when it is going to be measured (assignments and other activities) by the end of their first class
• Follow the outlines and deliver opportunities to meet the listed learning outcomes
• Follow the grading breakdown shown on the outline
• Post any amendments to the Outline on Blackboard & discuss in class with the students (once the program coordinator has approved the proposed changes).

TIP

Keep notes on the outline as the semester progresses to support updates or improvements during the course reviews at the end of each academic year. Submit your notes/suggestions to your Associate Dean and Program Coordinator at the end of the semester.
