I set up my folder structure for a given course as follows:

Teach (folder)
> Course XXX
--> Administration
(contains lecture administration projects, one per lecture)
--> Topics
....... Topic AAA
........> Notes
(contains topic development projects for content and examples)
........> Homework YYY
(contains homework assignment projects for the topic)
........> Capstone ZZZ
(contains capstone assignment projects for the topic)
---> Exams
(contains exam projects, one per exam)

I have a perspective "Teach" that shows just the contents of the Teach folder.

A typical Lecture Administration project is laid out with sequential Action Groups as follows:

Lecture Outlined (parallel, due before the given lecture)
... define Course XXX lecture topics
... prep Course XXX lecture NNN admin page
Lecture Finalized (sequential, due shortly after the given lecture)
... finalize Course XXX lecture NNN admin page
... post Course XXX lecture NNN admin page

For any course, I duplicate this template and do a search+replace to propagate lecture NNN to the next increment.

A typical Topic Notes project is laid out with parallel Action Groups as follows:

Content Topic AAA (Project, parallel)
Examples (sequential)
... outline examples for Topic AAA
... confirm examples for Topic AAA
... post examples for Topic AAA
Notes (sequential
... outline notes for Topic AAA
... confirm notes for Topic AAA
... post notes for Topic AAA

I will likely streamline this organization for the coming semester. My temptation to over-structure and over-expand the list of tasks has occasionally led me to skip past doing tasks. I am hoping that simplifying often exhaustive lists (wake up, get alarm clock from night stand, turn off alarm clock, put alarm clock back on night stand) to their minimum core (get up to start the day) will lead to fewer such issues.

Hope this gives you some good ideas to start your planning.
