             The Big Picture
   Course Outlines 
   • All college courses have a course outline that describes the outcomes, evaluations, 
    and teaching sequence of the course
   • Course outlines are formal documents representing the college, our schools and our 
    programs. 
   • Course Outlines  function primarily as an information and learning tool for our 
    students but are also the  primary vehicle for course planning. 
   • Course outlines are a contractual agreement that defines the course content and the 
    criteria by which a student is evaluated.
