Successful courses require careful planning and continual revision. ... this should begin well in advance of launching to outline course goals, and how you are going to teach it. Instructors often plan initially to teach more material than they can cover in the allotted time and the course materials do not match what the topics are.

 

The best plan is the well laid out plan.  What makes the best courses great? Thoughtful and methodical design. Course goals and learning objectives. By making sure they're clearly spelled out in a way that students can understand and grasp. Scope and sequence: Map it out ahead of time; don't just leave it up to chance. That is where I come in and design great course materials!
