What is a Model Course?
One of our goals is to create Model Courses. By this, we mean a set of WeBWorK problem sets with problems that will match the course syllabus for one or more textbooks.
Contents
What should be in a Model Course:
- Information about the text(s) to which it is matched
- Information about the syllabus that it assumes
- The set definition files (or sets of set definition files) that provide the problem sets for the course
- Any problems that are developed to fill in gaps in the NPL
Issues
- Naming conventions: how should we name sets and problems so that they are consistent (within the course) and useful?
- Completeness: how much should the model courses be a complete set of problem sets and problems for a course?
- Can/should we have model units that combine to make a model course?
- How would these model units fit into the organizational structure?
- How can we include documentation that discusses how these materials are used?
- Can this be addressed with naming convention?
- Should it be addressed by organizational structure within the model?
Organization
How should all of these data be organized? A possible model:
CourseName/
Textbook_Readme
Syllabus_Readme
Set_Definitions/
sethomework0.def
sethomework1.def
etc.
Set_Headers/
setheader0.pg
setheader1.pg
etc.
Problem_Files/
prob01.pg
prob02.pg
etc.
Hardcopies/
homework0.pdf
homework1.pdf
etc.
