Course guides use the same basic information as you’ll find in a course profile of the same title, including help with content and sequencing decisions.  However, each guide provides lots of extra support.  Remember, each guide is part of the overall MBAResearch curriculum model that includes:

• Programs-of-study (sold separately) provide the big-picture view, including recommended course offerings (academic and technical) and other information important to developing your business administration program.
• Course Profiles (sold separately) provide a quick overview of the content for an individual course, including recommendations for sequencing.  (Note:  Excerpts from the Course Profiles are available free in the Resources section of the MBAResearch web site.)
• Course Guides (sold separately) provide a more in-depth look at each course, including project and activity ideas, etc.  (You do not need to purchase both a Course Profile and a Course Guide for the same course.  Information contained in the profiles is also contained in the guides.)
• LAP Modules (sold separately) offer in-depth content for individual performance indicators.  Use LAPs as your daily lesson plan and for substantive student materials.
• Assessment (several options sold separately)

Course Guides include (2009 and newer):
• Course profile content:(No need to buy both)
o course description
