Hi Anthony: I think well prepared courses will have student learning outcomes, course descriptions and objectives, and maybe a listing of the resources needed. From there, it's up to the teacher to find creative ways to present the material. The main thing is to ensure that students learn the material and I'm sure there are a hundred and one ways to go about that. Keeping it interesting, challenging, and informatative should give the tescher enough motivation to fill all the missing parts. Facilitating the students learning can just as effective as providing the material. In most cases, students who are engaged and participate do better. So selecting content that meets the needs of the class and also involves them in an active manner is a good model to follow. Regards, Barry
