Teaching and Scholarship Hub

As Tracie Addy et al. (2021) suggest, a syllabus serves as a helpful roadmap for developing and facilitating an inclusive course. In the same vein, the syllabus can also be used as a powerful tool for reflection at the end of the semester. 

In this interactive session, we’ll carve out time to reflect on one of our spring courses through a semi-structured syllabus annotation workshop. Our syllabus annotation exercise will focus on four broad areas: policies, content, activities, and assignments/grading. For each area, you’ll have time to reflect individually and with others on a set of questions that will help you identify what to keep and what to revise in the next iteration of your course.

Participants will leave this session with a fully annotated course syllabus–a gift to their future self for the next time they teach the course again.

Considering staying to join our Pedagogy Lunch/Assignment Swap immediately following this session!
