Things to find out about a course (preferably before teaching!) Is it a core course, or an elective? At what stage in their degree will most students be – 1st, 2nd or 3rd year? Are there any prerequisites (or assumed knowledge) for the course? In what degree(s) will most students be enrolled?

Course Outline Contract with students Period of negotiation for assessment Need to use the template (should have been emailed within your school) Also, need to provide weekly times for students to seek advice

Thing you need to know, but didn’t know to ask Lectures start at 5 minutes past the hour, finish at 5 minutes to the hour E.g. a 9am lecture will run from 9.05am – 9.55am Allows for movement between classes, across campus Lecture recordings (Echo360) will automatically record in these times
