The syllabus should be accessible to students in more than one location in your course. Having it here, with introductory materials, will help ensure that online learners are viewing this important information.

Additionally, include the syllabus in the syllabus section of your course (visited by clicking Syllabus from the main course menu). An example of how this might look is provided below.

Remind students to review the course syllabus thoroughly before progressing to the Syllabus Quiz. Emphasize that familiarizing themselves with the syllabus and all course-related expectations will help them succeed in this course.

You can access a TMCC QM Syllabus Template here. You can also access it by selecting Syllabus from the main course menu.
