Course Outline Format

Traditional SLIG courses should be outlined to cover a minimum of 25 hours of instruction time, including labs and consultations. The SLIG January schedule includes 20 classes held in 75-minute increments, four per day, Monday through Friday.

SLIG courses with a heavy research or project schedule may meet for a preliminary session on Sunday afternoon, or consider additional after-hours labs. Courses with homework assignments may meet briefly before or after the daily lectures.

SLIG Fall and Spring Virtual courses should be outlined to cover a minimum of 20 to 25 hours of instruction time over a period of several weeks. Each weekly session usually begins with homework review and ends with homework assignment sessions, delivering two 75-minute classes with a short mid-session break. Alternate formats will be considered if required to best facilitate learning on the topic submitted.

The Fall and Spring sessions will also include SLIG Workshops. These shorter courses are designed to allow instructors to present niche topics with hands-on experience for the students. A detailed outline will be required to demonstrate the value of the material being presented and the planned hours of student engagement.
