Product Description
When it was first published in 1997, The Course Syllabus became the gold standard reference for both new and experienced college faculty. Like the first edition, this book is based on a learner-centered approach. Because faculty members are now deeply committed to engaging students in learning, the syllabus has evolved into a useful, if lengthy, document. Today's syllabus provides details about course objectives, requirements and expectations, and also includes information about teaching philosophies, specific activities and the rationale for their use, and tools essential to student success.

Product Reviews:

Excellent resource ( sccrick )
This is a concise guide to creating syllabi that encourage students to engage in course content and take advantage of resources available to them. I have used suggestions from this book for several courses over the past six years. My students find that a syllabus based on suggestions in the book helps them organize their approach to the course and establish goals for learning. Administrative critiques of my syllabi routinely note clarity of purpose and thoroughness--important aspects for the age of learner-centered paradigms. Examples in the book cover a range of disciplines and course formats.
