The Syllabus as an Engagement Tool: Part 1

Register to Attend

The syllabus is often a student’s first introduction to a course and to you as the instructor.  It is an opportunity to engage students in the class right from the very start.  In this session, we’ll discuss the purposes of a syllabus, examine the impact of language and tone, and critique sample syllabi.

This session is part of the Summer 2021 Workshop Series – Preparing for the Next Normal: Re-engaging Students in the Classroom.
