Curriculum

Spring is coming! You may want to begin considering whether your course outline needs any improvements, additions or changes. Now is a great time to think about it as you are likely to remember updates you want to include when you are teaching it, or have it fresh from last semester. If you need assistance, please come see a Curriculum Specialist in the C.A.F.E. for assistance.
