pinkelement Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I tried looking for this info, but being a little slow with all the "technology " related questions, either missed it, or just didn't "get" something that seems obvious. For Course Descriptions what program did you use and found user friendly? We have ours practically ready in Google Docs, but it is an endlessly scrolling document without visual breaks. I am now concerned how it will come across to admissions reader in college. I have seen some nice samples from the files where either each subject has its own page or even each class has its own page. I would love some suggestions for the programs you used for creating Course Descriptions that were easy to format and transfer nicely to the Common App. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Have you tried using bold face headers and italicizing sub headings? We just used a google doc then printed to a pdf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Mine are in a Google doc. I try to limit each class to a paragraph and each year to one 2-sided page. I have inserted a page-break between each grade level. Edited August 4, 2020 by fourisenough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkelement Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thank you very much! Actually, we were doing it in Google sheets, started that way and kept going. I will transfer it to Google Docs and see how it looks. Page-break option is what i need. This is perfect! Daijobu, thank you! If pdf works, then that's how we are going to leave it. Thank you all who responded!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
