Your Course Syllabus
What is a Syllabus?
A syllabus is an outline or summary of topics to be covered and educational goals and outcomes for each course. The syllabus can also contain meeting dates and times, a schedule of course activities and/or assignments, instructor contact information, course reading materials, or other related information.
NEW for Spring 2010!
Course syllabus information will be presented differently in Blackboard starting in Spring 2010 for ALL courses. Preview what the Blackboard Syllabus will look like...
