What is a syllabus?

A syllabus is a document that outlines a course before it begins, setting expectations for students. It typically covers the schedule, learning goals, grading, and policies, serving as a reference students return to all term. A clear syllabus helps both instructor and learners stay organized and aligned.

What should a course syllabus include?

A syllabus should include the course title and description, instructor contact information, learning objectives, a schedule of topics, required materials, grading breakdown, and key policies on attendance, late work, and conduct. Listing important dates and assignment deadlines gives students a complete roadmap for the term.

What is the difference between a syllabus and a lesson plan?

A syllabus gives a high-level overview of an entire course, including goals, policies, and the schedule across the term. A lesson plan focuses on a single class session, detailing the activities, materials, and objectives for that day. The syllabus sets direction while lesson plans deliver it.
