Summer Course Planning
A successful Summer Session begins with a good deal of advanced planning. Summer Session planning can and should start as early as the beginning of fall semester. While your previous summer outcomes are fresh in your mind, fall is a great time to assess what went well and what could be improved for the next Summer Session.
Reviewing data to help you plan for the next Summer Session is a great place to start. Once you glean insight from that data to make the best possible decisions for your students and your department, utilize the following resources to set your plan into action.
