Course Map Template

The course map visualizes the most efficient route through your course; it is the big-picture view. Think of it as the umbrella under which all of the individual modules/units fit. It can take an investment of time upfront to chart your course, but careful planning pays off and ensures that all the work done by students (and by you, the grader!) moves them toward achieving the course outcomes.
