Your syllabus will serve as the road map of your course for both you and your students. It is important that the syllabus is well thought out and intentional in design, and that begins with your choice of assignments. During this workshop, we will discuss the required common assignments and how you can meaningfully incorporate them into your course plan. This is an important first step in building your syllabus because once you choose your assignments, you will be able to intentionally build the rest of the course around them.

From posting your course syllabus, assignments and grades, your students will appreciate and expect your use of this tool in your class.
