IF THIS IS A NEW COURSE, PLEASE PROVIDE A DETAILED COURSE OUTLINE.

The Curriculum Committee requires that all new course proposals be accompanied by a course outline, in addition to the standard proposal form.

A course outline serves two important purposes:

1) to help you focus your ideas and organize individual class content so that you may
decide how many sessions are needed and how you will arrange your course.

2) to help members of the Curriculum Committee better understand your course content
so that they can make more informed recommendations to Curriculum Committee.
