    Are the main goals for a syllabus to …

    • Serve as a contract?
    • State the topics for the course?
    • List the assignments and exams?

    Yes, that’s true, but don’t limit your syllabus to being just a static document. A syllabus can do so much more! It can serve as a way to let your students see your passion and excitement about the course and show that you care and are supportive in their learning.

    What are some thoughtful, innovative enhancements to your syllabus that will engage your students emotionally and visually? Join us as we begin transforming your traditional syllabus to a more engaging one. In addition, we’ll also help you identify and create a graphical “big idea” for your course.
