Creating and Aligning Your Syllabus to Optimize Student Success

Your syllabus is more than a document that contains important information about your class; your syllabus acts as a contract and a covenant between instructor and student by setting the tone, creating an impression, and conveying expectations across the breadth of the learning experience. Crafting an effective, relevant, and thorough syllabus takes time and planning, but the return on this investment is a solid stand-alone piece that will serve as a foundational document for the duration of the course.

The Creating and Aligning Your Syllabus to Optimize Student Success session recording from the SGPS virtual event held on October 27 is now available for viewing! Please feel free to watch the recording at your leisure.
