Syllabus Learning ObjectivesCreate a functional course SyllabusClarify expectations for students in the areas of acceptable work and behaviorClarify expectations regarding academic integrity Robert Diamond (as cited in Grunert-O-Brian, Millis & Cohen, 2008) says, The research on teaching and learning is consistent: the more information you provide your students about the of a course, their responsibilities, and the criteria you will use to evaluate their performance, the more successful they will be as students and the more successful you will be as a teacher. This is no easy task. It requires a great deal of effort on your part and, often, far more work than you originally anticipate. It is helpful to regard the syllabus as both a dynamic learning tool and an agreement that is reviewed carefully during the first class meetings and returned to frequently throughout the course (Grunert-O’Brian, Millis & Cohen, 2008).The perfect syllabus includes all the information a student needs to know about the class. There are many templates to choose from, and FAU has Syllabus guidelines. An Online course needs a very detailed syllabus. Assignment- Review the FAU Syllabus guidelines, policies and legal issues, review the templates and use that information to modify your syllabus for online learning.Grunert-O’Brian, J., Millis, B. & Cohen.
