Updating a Syllabus

There is a standard syllabus at Unity College. This template syllabus is found in the dev_template in the Distance Education Development subaccount of Canvas.

The main areas to update on a syllabus are:

  • Course term

  • Information on the Trello Card Update Checklist

    • Accommodation Language

    • Communication Policies

    • Grading/Rubrics

    • Announcements

    • Etc.

  • The syllabus should list the course outcomes in a numbered list for easier reference to each outcome.

  • The textbook should be listed, or if one is not used, then the pre-existing text regarding open access resources should be left.

  • The Week 1 Learning Materials preview should include all Week 1 resources as a bulleted list and the Week 1 Lecture and Course Project Overview Videos.
