The overall course is structured in a logical, consistent, sequenced, and efficient manner:
SOCI 3991 is built into 4 Units, which follow consistent sequence. Each unit also concludes with an assignment, offering students an opportunity to review their learning after each unit and clear any questions with their OLFMs in a timely manner. The structure is evident in the suggested schedule below:
| Unit | Weeks | Assessments | My Due Dates |
| Unit 1: Colonialism in Canada and the World | 1–3 | Assignment 1 | |
| Unit 2: Managing Diversity | 4–6 | Assignment 2 | |
| Unit 3: Nationalism(s) and Globalization | 7–9 | Assignment 3 | |
| Unit 4: Equity Work, Intersectionality, and Human Rights | 10–12 | Assignment 4 Learning Journal Assignment (Entries 1, 2, 3, and 4) | |
| 13 | Glossary of Terms Entries Final Project |
Both SMEs confirmed that student and instructor workload is appropriate and reasonable for the level and number of credits for the course, and the blueprint was approved by the department. I was concerned about instructor workload, because the course has a mandatory online synchronous OLFM and student meeting element. Both SMEs are also OLFMs, and they assured me that at a third year level, the number of students isn’t as high, and the instructor workload is not significantly affected by scheduling and holding a synchronous meeting.
