Course Description
Course descriptions can be used to provide much more
than just a basic description of the course in question. For example, the
College Board uses Course Description Booklets to outline requirements
place upon AP courses.
For home schoolers, a basic course description could be
a copy of the contents page in the front of the book. Or, a copy of the
syllabus provided by the curriculum provider. Copy the contents page, or
request a syllabus, for each course and enter it into your records.
There may be times when the contents page and syllabus
are not sufficient. Maybe a parent/teacher needs to create a course
description for a course they designed. If quality is your concern,
consider a well designed course description that places a connection
between the content and the student’s goals. This would be much more
impressive than a simple contents page.
Course
description administrative tools are available through the Member Center,
or they are available with 1, 3, and 5 day entries in the printable
section of the Home School Hand Book.
