Paul T. Wietig, EdD Assistant Vice President Interprofessional Education University at Buffalo Academic Health Center The Power of the Syllabus Enhance the Process of Learning and Teaching

“Teaching should not be like pitching a baseball toward a student in the batter’s box to see whether he/she hits or strikes out. Ideally, a teacher organizes a game of Frisbee, inviting students to catch an idea and pass it on…” Ed Neal UNC - TLC

The Power of the Syllabus Enhance the Process of Learning and Teaching

Thoughts on a Syllabus A set of ‘promises’ to your students Outcomes: What they will understand and do. Methods: How you and they will go about achieving goals. Evaluation: How you and they will understand progress.

A Syllabus Is… A contract between the student, instructor and the university Sets forth what is expected during the term of the contract and to guide the behaviors of both parties Sets forth responsibilities of students and of the instructor for tasks Sets forth procedures and policies Parks & Harris – The Purpose of a Syllabus

Questions To Be Considered Which ideas or themes do you want to teach? or What kind of questions will your students be better prepared to answer as a result of your course? and What kind of skills will your course help them develop in order to answer those questions?
