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 textbook.

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

Organization

How should all of these data be organized? A possible model:

CourseName/
    Textbook_Readme
    Syllabus_Readme
    Set_Definitions/
        sethomework0.def
        sethomework1.def
        etc.
    Problem_Files/
        prob01.pg
        prob02.pg
        etc.
    Hardcopies/
        homework0.pdf
        homework1.pdf
        etc.
