Introduction
The aim of this article is to provide a set of guidelines for new instructors, in particularly on scheduling and leading classes.
The Class Timeline
- ~3+ Weeks to go
- Pick the class you want to run, decide on a few possible dates and times that would work for you.
- Discuss with the PVP-U Lead Admin (currently Azual), decide on provisional date and time.
- Arrange an FC for the class (if applicable).
- 3 Weeks to go
- Post Enrollment Thread (locked).
- Send a mail to the AU_PVP_CLASSES mailing list announcing the class, with a link to the enrollment thread.
- Add the class to the Agenda on the Agony forum.
- 2 Weeks to go
- Unlock Enrollment Thread (signups start here).
- Arrange assistant instructors/admin (if applicable)
- Post internal thread for class support.
- 1 Week to go
- Process enrollment and assign access to reading material.
- Chase up any class support that is still lacking.
- 1 Hour to go
- Log in early!
- Ensure assistant instructors/admin are present, and agree on sections if you haven't already.
- CLASS TIME!
- During Roll Call, note down any students who are not present. If they turn up subsequently, cross them off.

- Update 'Credits' sticky with anyone who paid but did not attend.
