Examine each course you teach and decide on the essential content and procedures. 

Ask yourself questions such as these:

• What is the purpose of the course?
• What are the skills or competencies needed in the field after graduation?
• What are the student learning outcomes?
• What would a student need to do/know to demonstrate mastery of the course?
• What methods of instruction, assessment, and what student activities are absolutely necessary?
• Which could be modified to accommodate a student’s particular learning needs and still result in the same level of mastery?
• What are acceptable levels of performance?

Any of your program requirements that are not considered fundamental could then be considered for reasonable accommodation to otherwise qualified students on a case-by-case basis.
