Syllabi recommendations
To promote student success, consider including in your syllabi:
- More assignments, earlier in the semester
- Classroom attendance/logging in to Canvas (success indicators that are behavioral vs. academic performance)
- Early grades
- The following Student Success statement: Success in this course includes attending class regularly, reading your syllabus, monitoring assignments and grades in Canvas, meeting with me (your professor) during office hours, going to the Campus Learning Center and the Writing Center, and using resources in the library to support your learning.
