Course Syllabus

Course Syllabus allows Instructors to complete those Syllabus Template Items for the course section. The Course Syllabus for a Course Section can be viewed by navigating to the Course Section Homepage and selecting Course Syllabus from the lefthand menu.

If survey questions were copied from a Course Section in a previous Term, copy details are displayed, including the last date of the copy and a hyperlink to the source of the copy.

Product Tip

Administrators can enter information at the course level via the Syllabus Defaults page that will apply to all syllabi for sections of the Course. For the syllabus defaults to display at the course section level, they must be added to the associated course before course publishing.

  1. To complete Syllabus Template items for a Course Section, select Course Syllabus from the Course Section Homepage and click Edit. Clicking Reset will delete all syllabus data and will revert the content to the Course Syllabus defaults.
