Create a Syllabus
Per USU Policy 403 section 3.1.3, Faculty members shall select course requirements based on the legitimate pedagogical goals of the course and discipline, and inform students of the general content and evaluation criteria in the syllabus or comparable documentation at the beginning of any course they teach. NWCCU Accreditation STANDARDS 1.C.3 specifies that course Learning outcomes should be available to students and the public via multiple methods: catalog, course outlines/syllabi program. Uploading a syllabus to your online course in Canvas fulfills both requirements.
