The Solid Syllabus
Picture this:
It’s the last week of the semester, and a student walks into your office, eyes wide with panic. “Wait… participation counts toward my grade?” Another frantically scrolls through their emails, insisting, “I didn’t know we had a final project!” And then there’s the classic, “I thought extra credit was unlimited!” If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. A well-crafted syllabus can prevent these last-minute surprises by serving as the ultimate guide—your students' “bible”—for your course. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to design a syllabus that clearly outlines expectations, classroom and institutional policies, and deadlines, ensuring students always know what’s required. By creating a document that is both informative and engaging, you’ll reduce confusion, curb creative excuses (no more “I submitted it, but Canvas must have glitched”), and create a structured learning environment where students feel confident, accountable, and prepared from day one.
