Adjunct Community of Scholars: Pedagogy—Syllabus Design
The first of our spring Community of Scholars meetings focused on the general theme of pedagogy will tackle the topics of designing a Syllabus and Establishing Policies and Procedures. We hope that experienced adjunct faculty members will bring their syllabi and be willing to share their Baruch classroom expertise with new adjuncts contemplating their first classes in the following week. See “Fundamentals of Syllabus Design,” “Syllabus Items,” and “Establishing Policy and Procedures” for background information. Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.
