Identify your audience while you are writing your course proposal. Your audience will be the students who will be taking your course. Determine the skill level of the course and the grade level. For example, the course can be designed for freshmen and sophomores.
Write the course goals at the beginning of the course proposal. Within the course goals you will include what is expected of the students during the course. You should also incorporate goals on what you plan to teach the students.
Write the course objectives under the course goals. The course objectives are things that the students should learn by the time they complete the course. You can write the course objectives as a list with bullet points included.
Create an outline and a description of the course. The outline and the description should describe the course in detail. It should incorporate the subjects you will discuss during the course and the reading material that may be included. Include the format of the course - how it will begin and how it will end.
