+====== Syllabus Policy & Templates ======
 ===== Introduction =====
 While a syllabus is an essential component of good teaching, student learning, and outcomes assessment, it is also a guide used in the resolution of conflicts that may arise between students and their instructors. While a faculty member has great flexibility in the design and content of a syllabus for a course, core information should be found in every syllabus for courses offered at CU Denver.

+===== Syllabus Checklist =====
+Before submitting the final course submission form and syllabus to the curriculum committee, please double-check the following:
+  * Did you use the most recent syllabus template and did you complete all required parts? [note: Curriculum Committee will only review course proposals that use this template] If this is a teacher education program course, did you use the most recent template for a teacher education syllabus? [[https://wiki.cu.studio/policy/syllabus-policy-template|Syllabus Template]]
+  * Do the course objectives reflect measurable learning outcomes and critical thinking skills?
+  * Are the assignments clearly described and is it clear how they will be assessed (e.g., include a rubric)?
+  * Are the readings up to date (as appropriate)?
+  * Is the commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion reflected in your syllabus (e.g., through course topics, readings, assignments, tone of syllabus language)?
+  * If there is an undergraduate and graduate version of the same course (to be cross-listed), is it clear how the course will differentiate between these levels (e.g., through readings, nature of the assignment)?
 ===== Appendix: Syllabus Template =====
-Note: This syllabus template is provided as a model for providing clear expectations for student academic success. This template is designed to help instructors offer students the essential information they need at the onset of the course. A complete and professional syllabus helps to establish a relationship between faculty and students as it sets the tone for the course: communicates when, when and how students will learn; makes clear to students what they need to do in order to be successful; communicates expectations in terms of student responsibilities; and deters misunderstanding about course policies. In addition to the categories provided here, instructors at other institutions have included other optional information (e.g. Educational Opportunity Programs; Title IX/Sexual Harassment; Ombuds Office, etc.).
