Include supplemental information (such as related papers, example problems, or textbook excerpts) as an appendix to the main presentation.If you are having difficulty condensing the material: A good rule of thumb is to build in ~30 minutes of time for these items. Also, remember that you'll need to accommodate time for introductions, questions from students, and evaluations & quizzes. Please limit the size to approximately 100 pages for a half-day course (3.5 hours of instruction) / 200 pages for a full-day course (6.5 hours of instruction.) The most frequent complaint from attendees is "not enough time to cover content," so it is better to plan conservatively.
