This document compares and contrasts syllabi used in traditional and nontraditional classrooms. Syllabi for traditional courses typically include instructor information, office hours, course details, academic integrity policies, meeting times, descriptions, grades, and attendance policies. Recent additions include learning objectives and clarification of terms. For online courses, the syllabus serves as both a schedule and homepage, laying out all course requirements clearly. Online syllabi must require no verbal clarification and accommodate geographic flexibility. The document emphasizes that the syllabus establishes expectations and acts as a contract between students and instructors. It should be well-written, coherent, and visually effective as it models expected work.
