Structuring A Course Outline

Students appreciate it when instructors create a detailed course outline that shows what they need to read, and the assignments they need to prepare for each week. It also will help you, as the adjunct instructor, to stay on target and be organized.
I prefer to create my course outline in a column format. Using this format allows students to see what will be covered in class so that helps to eliminate the “I can’t be in class next week. Can you tell me what I’ll be missing?” dilemma.
