The course syllabus is one of the central artifacts of higher education. It is a critical means of communication between

teacher and student and is often the first form of interaction. The syllabus can help set the tone, create an inclusive

climate, and establish the conditions for learning in the course. This hands-on workshop will provide participants

with strategies for creating a more student-friendly syllabus that fosters student engagement,

accountability and curiosity as well as positive interactions between the instructor and the student.

Participants are asked to have their syllabus available during the workshop. (1.5-3.0 hours)
