Abstract
This chapter aims to assist you when you become involved in some way in planning a course and wish to do so in a systematic manner. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward formula to guide you in this activity. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, course design is a complex business involving more than purely educational considerations. For example, you will find that full account must be taken of the context in which you teach. Lucky is the planner who can rely on the full co-operation of the teaching staff, has an adequate budget and does not have to take account of departmental or faculty politics. Secondly, relatively few courses are started from scratch. Most course design work is a matter of revising and redesigning existing courses.
