Course Description

Your course description might list learning objectives. It also tends to describe the topics you'll cover in the course, as well as the ethos of your course, and the type of student the course is geared toward. This information can help you determine not only assignment and assessment styles, but also work load and the general feeling you want students in your course to come away with. These will all be important qualities as you move into the course mapping process.

Using your course description, list the topics you'll cover in the course on your course map. Also, highlight or otherwise note any key elements you want to keep in mind as you complete the course mapping process.
