LESSON 5 – SYLLABUS MAKING

SEEN 30063 - LANGUAGE LEARNING MATERIAL AND DEVELOPMENT

A syllabus sets the stage for course development and management. The construction of a well-defined syllabus makes the development and management of an online or on-campus course much easier.

Both face-to-face and online syllabi should include instructor information, course description, course objectives (or course outcomes), course methodology, grading criteria, grade computation and course policies. In
addition, the syllabi for both face-to-face and online versions of the same class should provide identical course descriptions and course objectives, because most accrediting bodies (especially regional ones) require
that all sections of a course, regardless of the delivery method, assess students equally. The most significant differences between the two types of syllabi typically appear in the course methodology, grading criteria,
and course policies. (https://ctl.wiley.com/components-syllabus-online-campus-courses/)

A course syllabus normally contains the following parts:

1. Course Code
2. Course Title
3. Course Credit / Number of Units
4. Course Pre-Requisites
5. Course Description:
6. Course Objective:
7. Course Outline
8. Course Requirements
9. Course Grading System
10. Books/Course References

*Some may also include General Classroom Rules
