The syllabus addition that I am most excited about, however
minor, is elaborating on course expectations with questions that invite further
consideration of the topic, and hold students accountable for taking initiative
in their own education:
Course Objectives
How will your knowledge and understanding grow throughout
this semester? What intellectual
abilities will this course help you develop?
Course Requirements
What will you do to pursue the goals of this course?
Classroom Policies
What guidelines will help ensure a dependable,
respectful, equitable classroom atmosphere?
University Policies
How does the university help to ensure my safety and
academic success?
Required Readings
What resources will guide and expand our classroom
discussions?
