Your syllabus is more than a contract—it’s a roadmap for learning, a communication tool, and a reflection of the instructor’s teaching philosophy. Beyond listing topics and assignments, a syllabus offers unique opportunities to express pedagogical choices and demonstrate commitment to student success.

In this session, participants will:

• Recognize required syllabus components and understand their purpose
• Apply strategies to design or revise a syllabus that supports both instructor goals and student learning
• Explore ways to make the syllabus a welcoming document that sets the tone for the course
