syllabus

(noun)

A summary of topics which will be covered during an academic course, or a text or lecture.

Examples of syllabus in the following topics:

  • Setting a Course Syllabus

    • A syllabus provides a summary of topics covered in a course, and sets expectations about the course for students.
    • But a syllabus is far more than a glorified academic calendar for a particular course.
    • The syllabus frequently begins with the learning objectives for the course.
    • Reflecting on these objectives and articulating them clearly is essential preparation for writing an excellent syllabus.
    • Instructors may often employ a syllabus template to create and manage their various syllabi.
  • Customized Alignments

    • Boundless' modular content can be easily customized to match a specific syllabus or course to make the transition to using Boundless as smooth as possible.
