Preparing to Teach a Course

Thorough preparation is the key to a successful Semester's teaching. Preparation doesn't all take place before the Semester starts—it's an ongoing process, responding to changing circumstances, student and teacher needs, administrative requirements, available technology and, for some courses, changing course content.

The following pages provide advice for sessional teachers about what to do:

  • Before the Start of Semester,
  • at the Beginning of Semester,
  • During the Semester
  • and at the End of Semester.
