Master syllabuses articulate the relationships among the General Education Program objectives, learning outcomes, and principal course goals, including the integration of the Writing Across the Curriculum Program objectives in writing intensive courses. Each Master Syllabus provides information such as suggested course materials, methods of evaluation, and a course outline that establishes the basis for course content. Syllabuses pertaining to individual classes and distributed to students contain more information and are instructor specific with regard to methods of instruction, course materials, evaluation, attendance policy, and other course requirements.
