The common course outline is a generic description of essential elements and expected outcomes of a course regardless of who teaches the course. The Office of the Vice President of Teaching and Learning maintains complete files of all approved common course outlines. Department coordinators and/or program leaders also generally have this information.
It is a required element on your syllabus, and faculty members are expected to adhere to the general concepts in the common course outline when teaching courses at RCTC.
These outlines have been developed by full-time unlimited faculty teaching the course. The common course outline includes the following elements: (a) catalog description; (b) effective date of the outline and when next scheduled for review/revision; (c) recommended entry skills/knowledge; (d) outline of major content areas; (e) learning outcomes/competencies/objectives, including Minnesota Transfer Curriculum competencies if relevant; (f) methods used for evaluation of student learning; and (g) any needed special information such as fees, directives on hazardous materials, etc.
