== Gaining support and finding the right team ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Reaching out to faculty at your institution who are interested in your</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">success and the success of the course are great sources of support.</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Student support is also a big part of it since they are the ones who</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">will be taking the course. Learning should be democratized so gaining</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">feedback as to what students want to learn on your campus is the first</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">step. Ways to find support from your peers can include using Google</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">polls and forums to get a sense of what kind of courses they would</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">want and the possible times that would work best for the most amount</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">of students.</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Your team should consist of the faculty of your choosing and other</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">students who share your common end goal. When choosing faculty members</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">to help make your course a reality, making sure they are willing to</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">provide advice while not trying to change the core concept of your</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">course is key. Do not be afraid to set boundaries so that you do not</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">go off course on your original goal. Everyone on your team should</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">understand and believe in the goal of the course and be willing to put</span><br/><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">in the work to make it a reality.</span></span>
