Creating an effective syllabus is hard work, as it requires the instructor to juggle delivering the details of the course, conveying the right tone to the students, and keeping abreast of all the latest policies. Furthermore, creating a good syllabus is a pedagogically tricky task, as each line you write nudges your students to or from engaging in deeper, more meaningful learning. Furthermore, a successful syllabus can help community and sense of belong, which we know helps students to succeed.

To help you develop your own syllabus in a way that is pedagogically sound, meets accessibility requirements, and aligns with Temple policies, the following Syllabus Template is available for download and modification to meet the needs of your individual course.

In coming semesters, we will be rolling out a Syllabus Template that is directly integrated into Canvas.
