Topic List
- This is where you can introduce the main topics of the course
- You can add subtopics here
- You can consult a syllabus to remind yourself of a topic list
- Try not to add too many main topics; definitely keep it <15.
Class Structure
This is where you can talk about the class structure. Is it lecture or project heavy? Are there labs or in-class discussions? Is most of the workload from homework, or studying for exams?
Please refrain from discussing exact grading schemes, as professors need some leeway in changing things semester after semester.
Prerequisite Knowledge
What knowledge/techniques/skills do you need to know for this class? If there are formal prerequisites, how much material do you actually need from those courses? Are there also things outside of those prerequisites that helped you / would have helped you with this course?
Registration
Talk about scheduling information here. Is there a linked lab you have to register for? How about an optional recitation?
Add any tips or tricks about the actual registration process.
Equivalent Courses (optional)
- List equivalent courses if there are any
- For example, honors versions, cross-listed courses with other majors, or courses that fulfill the same graduation requirement for some or all majors
