This webinar focuses on understanding about syllabus and its importance for both learning and teaching in the higher education. It also gears toward explaining what students’ learning outcomes are in higher education. Participants will learn about what syllabi are, how syllabi are constructed at undergraduate and graduate levels, and the essential components of syllabi (e.g., learning goals, attendance policy, resources for students, student assessment and grading scale, course policies, and university policies). In addition, webinar participants will learn about complementary resources on a syllabus design and will be provided samples of syllabus templates and outlines of the syllabi containing the major aspects of a syllabus.
