Course description

A course description should cover the books, any other materials used, time spent, how you evaluated the course, how many credits you assigned, whether the course is considered an honors course, etc.  You should keep one for each named course.  

Thanks, Bookworm.

@tandc93, if that’s the kind of description you’re looking for, I don’t have one already written. The suggested books are listed in the front pages of each module’s handbook; you can see those lists in the samples. In my mind, each of those modules would count for 1/2 credit of American history and 1/2 credit of world history; so put together, you would have one full credit of each. However, I haven’t put the data in a spreadsheet yet to have total pages or hours estimates calculated in detail. So all that to say, I don’t think that wheel is in existence; feel free to invent it.

Hi, Christie, I’m having problems finding my course descriptions on my laptop.  I may have just uploaded them from my desktop, BUT it is having a nervous breakdown today and so it’s being no help.  🙁  So I went looking for the models I used when I did mine, and I’m posting links to those here:

HTH while I try to get other computer working!!!

I am working on my dd’s transcript, and I, too, would like to see Bookworm’s course descriptions….if they are not on too many meds for the nervous breakdown along with your laptop!

If you can get around to it….if not, no worries!

Have found an old set of course descriptions for child #1. They are not complete.  I will try to figure out how to get them on some kind of file share later.
