A schedule makes it easier for professors to organise their work, as it specifies the stages to be followed and is a great help in planning and controlling tasks.
Depending on your centre's schedule, organise the lesson time in such a way that you have a general outline for each block of content, including the learning objective and the means to achieve it. This can be done in a table like the one below:
Goal | Actions | Timing | |
---|---|---|---|
Session 1 | |||
Session 2 | |||
Session X |
Recommendations
a) In preparation for the course
- The departments responsible for teaching are in charge of coordinating their teaching staff. If there is any doubt, please contact your coordinator..
- Develop for your classes a coherent schedule for the activities to be carried out, dividing the time for each class.
- As far as possible, collaborate with other professors not only of the same subject, but also of other subjects in the course. The students will have a better overview.

b) To improve during the course
- Communicate frequently with the coordination team.
- Plan group mentoring, face-to-face or online, with class delegates or working group spokespersons.
- Encourage students to meet deadlines for activities, avoiding procrastination..
- Plan periodic self-assessments for any assistance needed.
c) After the end of the course
