Syllabus Design

What does your syllabus say about your course? Does it spark interest, ignite the passion to learn, or excite the learners? While it’s a contract between you and the students, it doesn’t have to be a simple list of policies, procedures and boring. Let our instructional designers assist you in creating such a document; while still incorporating the required and suggested syllabus language. 

A syllabus is often seen as a learning contract between instructor and student, so it’s important to pay attention to the information that’s included.

Syllabus Elements revised August 2022 – The University has created this document so that all course syllabi contain this important information.

Emergency Preparedness Protocol – This document will automatically appear in the left course menu in Blackboard as stated in the Syllabus Elements link above.
