Evaluation Preparation/Approval Process (non-Common courses)
The subject outline is the institution's contract with students. For every subject you teach there is an existing subject outline, and there may also be a syllabus with topics and readings set out on a week by week basis. In some cases, you may be asked to draw up a subject specific outline; This may be done in consultation with your Program Coordinator and/or Chair.
Do not change the subject content of an existing subject outline as it has been approved by faculty during one of the frequent curriculum reviews. This is particularly important as many subjects are linked in sequences and impart skills and knowledge that are necessary for other subjects in other semesters or within the same semester.
You must adhere closely to the subject outline while teaching the course. Go through the outline with students during the first class, emphasizing the marking scheme, tests and assignments, required texts, and standard wording about absences and cheating, etc.
Any recommendations for a change in assignments and evaluation must be approved by your Program Coordinator and the Chair before being distributed to the students.
