    • ENGAGE: Preparing to Launch (Checklist) File
      Students must
      Mark as done

      Use this checklist to evaluate what you've done so far and identify the remaining steps needed to begin teaching your course. We strongly recommend also having a colleague, a former student or TA, or one of our educational technology specialists take a look at your course to test activities and give you feedback. The goal isn't perfection: iterating a course with "real" students is the only way to truly test and get feedback on your design. However, as with a manuscript, it is always helpful and reassuring to have other eyes look over your first draft.
