Your Course Syllabus
Create or Revise a Syllabus for a College Composition Course Syllabus:
- If you have taught college composition before, go over your syllabus and decide how you might improve it
- If you have never taught college composition, create a new basic syllabus for the course
- If you wish to work on a syllabus for a different course, you may do so, but the course must require students to do substantial writing
- You may plan your syllabus for a specific semester or just organize it by weeks (Week 1, Week 2, etc.)
- You don’t need to include every last detail for your syllabus, but create enough of the course syllabus so we can understand your general plan for the course
- We will discuss your the first draft of your Course Syllabus in class
- Later, after we cover social justice issues in the course, you can revise your Course Syllabus to add to your course some consideration of social justice issues
- Also later, after we cover universal design principles, you can revise your Course Syllabus to consider how to improve your course using the principles of universal design
