UAS Syllabus
2003 Faculty Handbook, page 10
A course syllabus must be provided to each student at the first class session of a course, with a copy also being filed with the appropriate Dean’s office. UAS Online provides each course with a web site (www.uas.alaska.edu/online) where a course syllabus may be posted. A course syllabus is required to contain the following:
- Objectives of Course
- Scope of material to be covered in the course
- Required texts and readings
- Grading method (pass/fail or letter, including whether + or – will be employed)
- The basis for awarding student grades: exams, papers, quizzes, projects, or other along with due dates and weighting toward calculation of the final grade
- Notification that class evaluation will take place during the last 3 weeks of class
- Other pertinent information concerning course management and instructor expectations of students
Occasionally two or more courses are scheduled in the same classroom at the same time (e.g., ENGL 218/418, Themes in Literature and Advanced Themes in Literature). These are referred to as “stacked courses.” The semester class schedule will indicate if a course is being offered in stacked format. Separate syllabi are required for each stacked course reflecting the distinct and appropriate differences in course requirements and grading and explaining the nature of stacked courses.
