Model Course Calendar

Designer's note: The idea of one list with all due dates is an important one. Students tend to print the master calendar and use it as a checklist throughout the semester.

The course calendar should include due dates for all graded items, multiple due dates for activities with more than one part, and also any gaps such as semester breaks when no assignments are due. The calendar may also include reading assignments if you wish to contain all items on one list.

If you expect a geographically diverse group of students, you may wish to include due dates with times and a designated time zone.
