Sections A, B2, B3, C1, C2 Word docs (2)

Fonts (type/size) used in CMS– (? Arial, 12pt)

Pagination in CMS– use section/page numbering in your word docs that

complements CMS, e.g.: B2/1, B2/2Alphabetical ordering/listing of programmes in CMS (if there is more than one included)

– order/list the programmes in a similar way

In order to complete B1 – programme specifications, you really need to have all module descriptors in CMS i.e. start with B4 Module descriptors

Sections B1, B4CMS (1)

Remember e.g. about• Info on Assessment

and feedback strategy for each assessment

• Reading lists• Staff (under Instances

Tab); note however that CVs of all listed in module descriptors will have to be presented in Section C2

• CMS “does not like” tables

B1 – programme specifications

Sections B1, B4CMS (2)

B1 – programme specifications (cont.)

make sure “to tick” all required boxes
