Course Syllabus and Requirements, and Expectations for Students

It is required at the beginning of each course you teach to provide a course syllabus to each of your students that explains exactly what will be expected of them in the course. If students know in advance your policies regarding class attendance, grading, academic integrity and assignments, there is less likelihood that problems will arise later in the semester stemming from a student’s claim that he or she did not know what was expected. Suggested wording on academic integrity can be found in the Academic Regulations and Procedures section of this handbook under "Academic Integrity."
