Provisional Syllabus: |
Please provide a provisional syllabus for new courses
and courses in which changes in content and/or description and/or credits are proposed that include the following information:
course goals and description; format/structure of the course (proposed number of instructor contact hours per week, student
workload effort per week, etc.); topics to be covered; scope and nature of assigned readings (texts, authors, frequency, amount
per week); required course assignments; nature of any student projects; and how students will be evaluated.
The University policy on credits is found under Section 4A of "Standards for Semester Conversion" at http://www.fpd.finop.umn.edu/groups/senate/documents/policy/semestercon.html . Provisional course syllabus information will be retained in this system until new syllabus information is entered with the next major course modification, This provisional course syllabus information may not correspond to the course as offered in a particular semester.
