What is Course Guide?The Course Guide/CG is a web tool used by students to provide them with course details such as instructional method, workload and exams.
October 2007 and forward CG information will be collected by direct entry to U of MN custom PS CG pages. In addition to enhanced information collection for CG a new media upload option exists. This information will upload to the Web overnight from PS.
The two modes of capturing CG information will be through the use of instructor pages through self service on the Web and staff pages within PeopleSoft.
