There are two other courses from the BCS curriculum "Modeling & Simulation" and "Object-Oriented Design & Implementation" but I have not removed them as we might want to keep them as electives in our BS(CS) curriculum).

Guidelines for making RCOs
For each course, a full time faculty is assigned to be the Course Lead whose names are given below. A Reference Course Outline (RCO) is supposed to exist for each active course, to be maintained by the course lead. The RCO is intended to be, as the name suggests, a reference for each faculty teaching the course. The RCO is recommended to be followed for approximately 80% of the course material. However faculty members may deviate some what from the RCO, but typically for not more than 20% of the course content. Template for a RCO is given.

In cases where only one section of a course exist, the creation of the RCO is relatively easy. In case where multiple sections exist, the course lead is requested to ensure that the best and most balanced course outline be chosen to be reflected in the RCO. Page naming conventions should be followed while creating new RCO pages.
