The entire university doesn't use a universal one, but the College of Ed does (which we are part of). It makes the assessment process that the COE goes through a bit easier if all the syllabi look the same. They make for long syllabi, but I have been just putting mine up on the server for students to access that way rather than printing out a copy for every student.
At top, centered: COLLEGE OF EDUCATION VALDOSTA STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING SUMMER SEMESTER Course Number Title of course X CREDIT HOURS Then the following sections REQUIRED TEXTBOOK COURSE DESCRIPTION Then the objectives as they relate to the program - so, when I am teaching Honors Intro to Psych, they would be: VALDOSTA STATE UNIVERSITY GENERAL EDUCATION OUTCOMES UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: COURSE EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR B.A./B.S. PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE This the ones for the course COURSE OBJECTIVES I tie these to the objectives (at the end of each syllabus, we do that again in a table to each of the program objectives) COURSE ACTIVITIES AND ASSIGNMENTS COURSE EVALUATION ATTENDANCE SPECIAL NEEDS STATEMENT INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION (name, office, phone e-mail, office hours) COURSE INFORMATION (chapters/topics and dates) Deborah Briihl, PhD Dept. of Psychology and Counseling Valdosta State University 229-333-5994 [email protected] ________________________________________ From: Christine L.

Obviously, instructors will still be in charge of their own content, but we'd like all students to know textbook info is on page one, the schedule is at back followed by class/institution policies, etc. Does anyone currently have something like this in place? If so, what is it and what are the pros and cons of using it? We have been using something that is Access based, with very limited success. I've seen one web-based version where there are fields to fill in.....
