I provide a dependency diagram so students can work out where to apply most effort and how to catch up if they miss something.

I also show likely dependencies from the course assessment to the various topics. For instance, there is a strong dependency on the IO monad, but a weaker/optional dependency on (general) monads.

In terms of presentation order, I tend to over-simplify early in the course and circle back and make things more precise later.

(I'm teaching a 2nd year university course on Functional Programming with Haskell for the first time, so I found the OP fascinating. Thanks!)
