Instructors are strongly encouraged to use the online course repository Outline – developed by UWaterloo's Science Computing – to enter all course outlines.

The benefits of using Outline include that you’ll meet:

  • Accessibility requirements.
  • All the mandatory components required by Senate, as they are automatically filled in.
  • Our goal of developing a bank of outlines that can be accessed by students, academic advisors, and future term instructors.

In addition, the interface will accept LaTeX input, and the outlines generated by this service are consistently formatted, web-accessible, and automatically stored for future reference or re-use. Science Computing continues to add more futures such as student course schedule ‘heat map’, which is very useful when trying to organize office hours that fit with student availability.
