A Course Syllabus
A syllabus is basically a contract between the instructor and the students for a specific course.
A syllabus generally consists of the following items:
- Orientation to the course.
- Contact information.
- A listing of the course topics (e.g., lecture titles).
- Rules for the operation of the course.
- General information on assignments and grading.
- Specific policies, particularly as they relate to grading.
Many institutions require that a course syllabus is available to everyone.
