  9. Questions to Consider • What is the essence of this particular course and/or series? • How is it unique compared to others in your area? • Does this course require specific preparatory skills in order to ensure success at the next level of this course sequence? • Does it require higher-level, specific skills unlike earlier courses? • Is the information taught in this course related to those in other courses? If so, which benchmark(s) will be the defining ones for describing/highlighting this course within the sequence? • Are there any courses that seem to require the exact same benchmarks? • How is this possible if each course is unique? • Is it possible that a separate course isn’t necessary?
