According to a meta-analysis by Feldmann (2007), the time that teachers invest in planning and preparing courses correlates very strongly with student performance. It is therefore worthwhile designing a course thoroughly.
Planning university teaching implies
clarifying the framework conditions for the course (curriculum, infrastructure, resources)
making decisions on objectives, content, processes, activities and examination modalities
giving students orientation for their learning process
making any necessary adjustments to lesson planning on the basis of feedback and reflection during the semester
