Make it Great: Syllabus Nuts and Bolts Every Instructor Can Use
Most college instructors have not received formal training in how to put together an effective and user-friendly course syllabus. And, instructors often inherit syllabi language that may not accurately represent their course, may be out-of-date, and may not provide students with the key information they need to be successful. Whether you teach face-to-face or online, join us for this one-hour “syllabus tune-up” session that will give you a head start on your fall course planning!
After completing this session, you will be able to:
- Identify the primary purposes and key components for effective course syllabi;
- Identify specific UofL policies, procedures, and resources regarding course syllabi; and
- Create language and shortcuts that will make your syllabus more accessible and user friendly for all students, whether face-to-face, hybrid, or online.
