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.
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.
