About this guide
Course review is an essential component of good teaching practice and facilitates the regular review of course materials. The process is an opportunity to ensure the University’s course offerings meet program requirements, include current course materials and incorporate contemporary teaching, learning, and assessment methods. Course reviews within your unit/department will be conducted by the Pedagogy Committee. For more information, please consult with your Chair.
