Course Description

Course Descriptions:

Include a description of the course and course goals. Try to think of them from the student’s point of view. i.e. how will they benefit them specifically. Indicate why these goals are important for teaching and learning.  Include a rationale for instructional methods. Instructional methods should capitalize on students’ experiences, learning, and cognitive styles.

Example Course Descriptions: 

• Start with your classes’ description in the ECU Catalog
• Examples written from the student’s point of view:
  • Society for the Teaching of Psychology (Links to an external site.): These syllabi are peer reviewed twice before being chosen as exemplary samples.
  • Example from “How to Create a Syllabus”
