I. Preparing a Course

Long before walking into your classroom you spend hours thinking, reading, and organizing your course, whether you teach as the sole instructor, as an assistant, or with colleagues. By carefully planning your course, you increase the likelihood that students will grasp what they are to learn, will see clearly individual course elements and their relationships, and will understand what you intend to communicate.

Every class should be an occasion for discovery. It is not possible to achieve that experience for every student every day, but it is possible to provide the opportunity.
