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
