If you cannot identify a document by its title and you must open it in order to determine its content, you have just encountered inferior document naming convention.

The more generic and concise a document name is, we can assume the broader an audience it is meant for.

So courses-2022.pdf is meant for a wider audience (students, faculty, curious high school students) whereas a file named CIS-course-checklist-undergrad-fall.pdf is more specific and is likely meant for current students and a perhaps a faculty advisor.

Consider Your Audience
