Syllabus Tips and Guidelines
A syllabus, submitted by email only, is required from each
instructor no later than two weeks before the start of the
term. Returning faculty should email syllabi to Kina Kelly
at
k-kelly5@northwestern.edu. New faculty should email syllabi
to Megan Powell at
m-powell2@northwestern.edu. To include important dates such
as holiday breaks and start and end dates in your syllabus,
you can simply consult the SCS
academic calendar. Please
label your file according to the course number (eg. "SOCIOL
202 fall 2005.doc").
Please format your syllabus according to the template provided
by SCS.
Information about creating syllabi and other aspects of
teaching is available on the SCS
Faculty Development webpage.
In addition, faculty development workshops on the syllabus
as
a learning tool are also available.
Both instructors and students can access syllabi archived
by SCS. Also, syllabi are required for program auditing purposes,
and they are helpful to students in course selection. Syllabi
can also help an instructor create interest in his/her upcoming
class.
