Setting a Course Syllabus
- A syllabus provides a summary of topics covered in a course, and sets expectations about the course for students.
- But a syllabus is far more than a glorified academic calendar for a particular course.
- The syllabus frequently begins with the learning objectives for the course.
- Reflecting on these objectives and articulating them clearly is essential preparation for writing an excellent syllabus.
- Instructors may often employ a syllabus template to create and manage their various syllabi.
