Course Syllabi
Full course syllabi for courses I’ve taught and for those under development. Please borrow whatever is useful to you and do let me know about the successes and challenges you have with the courses I’ve designed and the alterations you may find they need. It would be great if we could find ways to link like-syllabi and share course content between institutions. Any suggestions are most welcome.
Students: A great way to find out things you want to know about which classes you’d most like to take is not only to peruse your course catalogues and look at whatever general summaries are available, but also to ask instructors for a look at their individual syllabi. Some courses (especially often those we consider “service courses) are standardized, but most are taught differently, sometimes radically differently, from one professor to another. You should learn to read course syllabi not only for the structure of the class—for the “what I need to do to succeed in the course”—but also for the course content, the instructor’s teaching philosophy, the ideological, historical, and methodological foci.
