The Course Binder Preparation Process for this Term

3 stages of course binders preparation process: About 65 binder in their first stage (divider 1 only – course

planning) About 20 binders in their second stage (remaining dividers All unoffered electives will be done later

Departments will assign 1-2 course binders for each faculty member

Assignment is made by the dept chair Preferred is the course coordinator Hopefully (left to depts), cooperation between both

sections Hopefully (left to the dean and VDoD):

Courses repeated across depts be done once for no duplicate efforts

We will worry first about courses offered already, other unoffered elective courses will be considered later

The Course Binder Preparation Process for this Term

Coaching: All coaches college-wide are available for

your help and will provide all possible assistant

Coaches are mentors who should give you max possible support: to answer your questions, review your work, …

They are responsible for the first line review before submitting to AIMS

The internal Auditor will finally review all submitted information and come back with comments and recommendations
