Creating a Syllabus

Elements of the Course Syllabus

There are three compulsory components on a St. Clair College syllabus as per policy (see above "Creating a Syllabus"):

  • A clear statement that it is a plan of learning and that it is subject to change
  • A proposed learning plan built on a weekly or class basis of the topics that will be covered over the semester
  • Planned assessments* with identified due dates

*Note: 30% of the total marks by week 7

Below are some additional components that could be added to the syllabus OR included on expectations/guidelines. These should be reviewed on day 1-2 of the class.
