9 Textbook Submission 1 Guidelines

What

Table of Contents (TOC) & Appendices

Fill out the TOC template

  • For TOC,
    • Cohorts may work on identifying the goals of the textbook first and organize chapters accordingly. That is, if a cohort develops 5 goals for the textbook, then there would be 5 parts supporting each goal. Each part would be composed of multiple chapters. For example,
      • Part 1: Discussing Goal 1 of the textbook
        • Chapter 1
        • Chapter 2
        • Chapter 3
        • Chapter 4
      • Part 2: Discussing Goal 2 of the textbook
        • Chapter 5
        • Chapter 6
        • Chapter 7
    • If you decide to collaborate with other authors, you may do so. However, a lead author – who is ultimately responsible for delivering the chapter – needs to be identified for each chapter.
  • For Appendices
    • Identify Appendices topics that appear numerous times throughout the book. Each cohort must identify the Appendices topics as a group. For example, the Welding cohort might decide to list all welding techniques as an Appendices topic. The CJ cohort might want to list all legal cases mentioned.
