This workshop will help you design an effective, learning-centered syllabus that encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning.

Handouts
Workshop Assessment Report

A student’s first impression of a course is often formed by looking at the course syllabus. A well-designed syllabus can facilitate student learning by explaining:

• what you want students to learn;
• how the assignments will help them meet your expectations; and
• how they will be evaluated.

The workshop leaders will recommend steps to create a syllabus and describe the elements of a successful syllabus. Participants will have time to interact and begin drafting/revising a syllabus. Bring a copy of a syllabus that you’d like to revise or a copy of a course description/outline.
