Syllabi Resources

Hey everyone,

I know that most of you have already prepared your syllabi for the semester, but I wanted to draw your attention to 3 helpful resources. The first one is a link to past/archived syllabi. You can look at syllabi from any class. Even though the syllabi are somewhat dated, I still find this to be useful.

The other one is a syllabus checklist, which comes from the faculty handbook (and adjunct faculty handbook). This is a checklist of important items that are good to have on your syllabi.

Course Syllabus: The course syllabus must be consistent with the course content summary. Each syllabus must contain the following:
 
a.  Course number and title.
 
b. Instructor’s name, college phone number, e-mail address, and office hours.
 
c.  Objectives that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. These must be consistent with the objectives in the course content summary.
 
d.  Prerequisites and level of preparation expected to succeed in course.
 
e.  Description of how the course is going to be conducted (this is typically a proposed schedule of class meetings). Topics must be consistent with those described in the course content summary.
 
f.  Student responsibilities, including required textbook(s), assignments, and other requirements of the course.
 
g. Statement of how grades will be determined.
 
h.  Attendance policies (see Section 4.300).

The last thing is a link to the course content summaries for each course offered at NOVA. Even though these files are PDFs, I usually re-type these word for word and include them in my syllabi. It gives students an idea of what the course is like, what topics will be covered, etc.
