Boiler Plate Syllabus
What do you do when there is a standard syllabus developed and published by the school (online)? To what extent should you prepare supplementary materials to go with it?
Hi Sharon,
Absolutely! Rules must be established on the first day, and the syllabus is a great place to indicate rules. Students need structure and must be held accountable.

I always add in more information to my standard syllabus to ensure my students are exposed to my classroom rules, grading systems, attendance policy, etc.... This is a way for you as an instructor to protect yourself.
Hi Luiz,
Instructors should always have academic freedom and teach what you want to as long as you cover the required cuuriculum.
