The following models can be reviewed by logging in to the appropriate course as a guest user.  In this mode, problems can be viewed but answers will not be checked.

One of our goals is to create ''Model Courses''.  By this, we mean a set of WeBWorK problem sets with problems that will match the course syllabus for one or more textbooks.

==Contents==
 
What should be in a Model Course:
* Information about the text(s) to which it is matched
* Information about the syllabus that it assumes
* The set definition files (or sets of set definition files) that provide the problem sets for the course
* Any problems that are developed to fill in gaps in the NPL
 
==Issues==
 
* Naming conventions: how should we name sets and problems so that they are consistent (within the course) and useful?
* Completeness: how much should the model courses be a complete set of problem sets and problems for a course?
* Can/should we have ''model units'' that combine to make a model course?
* How would these ''model units'' fit into the organizational structure?
* How can we include documentation that discusses how these materials are used?
** Can this be addressed with naming convention?
** Should it be addressed by organizational structure within the model?

How should all of these data be organized?  A possible model:

    Textbook_Readme
    Syllabus_Readme
    Set_Definitions/

        sethomework1.def
        etc.
    Set_Headers/
        setheader0.pg
        setheader1.pg
        etc.
    Problem_Files/
        prob01.pg
        prob02.pg
        etc.
    Hardcopies/
        homework0.pdf
        homework1.pdf
        etc.

A Model Course is a complete implementation of WeBWorK for a selection of standard courses. The intent of a model course is to provide an example that might be quickly adopted and utilized by a new user.

The following models can be reviewed by logging in to the appropriate course as a guest user. In this mode, problems can be viewed but answers will not be checked. Easy mechanisms for utilizing these models are currently under construction but anyone desiring to have the current set of problems should download the zipped up set of files available under each course.
