It’s likely that I either didn’t see it, saw it but wasn’t able to respond at the time, or meant to respond and something distracted me. I greatly appreciate your patience and understanding, so please help me by emailing me again.

Syllabi examples

I’m big on transparency and sharing information! So I share these syllabi to help anyone who is looking for them. Please see the categories below to view the purpose of me sharing these syllabi.

Audience: Fellow educators
I share these syllabi as examples of how they can be formatted outside of the traditional 10-pg word document. Hopefully these inspire you to create your own types of syllabi that make it easier for students to find information and allow you to be clear with your expectations. While I don’t claim that these are the best designs, I do receive consistent student feedback that this format allows them to find all the information they need and it certainly helps reduce my need to repeat things. I also really love the control that this type of platform gives me so that I can update things in real-time and students don’t have to download the correct version when things change. Feel free to use these designs, rubrics, schedules, etc. as templates for yourself. As somebody with a business background, capitalism tells me that I should somehow try to monetize this information and / or protect my intellectual property. I think that’s silly; I joined academia to share knowledge and resources, not hoard them. So if you do decide to use these, I’d be flattered! Please let me know by reaching out with any questions / comments :)

Audience: Students
I share these syllabi so that you can see what to expect if you decide to take one of my classes. These examples may or may not reflect exactly how things will be done if you take my class as I often make adjustments. However, these can help give you an idea of how I structure and run my classes (e.g., policies, assignments, grading, schedule). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions / comments!
