How to Add a Syllabus
Your syllabus acts as your course planning tool. You can provide details about your course structure, participation standards, and even the social online behavior you expect in your virtual classroom. Your syllabus functions as a contract between you and your students. Be sure to include the due dates for assignments and tests and connect those dates to the course calendar.
