The Montclair Syllabus

The Montclair Syllabus is 一个模板, 每学期更新, that ensures instructors provide all the essential elements for their students in a consistent way. This enables students to understand the expectations for each course they are taking and helps them find the information they need more easily. Many Montclair students report that they have trouble finding the information they need, often because their instructors organize their syllabi differently. The Montclair Syllabus contains links to campus resources that are updated regularly so that you can direct students to them without needing to research them yourself or discover that links you’ve copied and pasted from past semesters no longer work.

For Fall 2024 Montclair campus courses, the Montclair Syllabus is available in Canvas in two forms: a static version labeled “Syllabus” and a dynamic version labeled “Montclair Syllabus.” For Fall 2024, both options will appear in the Canvas left-navigation menu. To prevent student confusion, choose only one of the syllabi options to use, and adjust your course’s Canvas navigation settings so that only the syllabus option you are using remains. 有关说明，请参阅 Configure 简单的教学大纲 In Canvas 或联系 ITDS.

For Fall 2024 Bloomfield campus courses, the Montclair Syllabus is available in Canvas in a dynamic version labeled “Montclair Syllabus.”

The Montclair Syllabus and 简单的教学大纲

The dynamic “Montclair Syllabus” uses 简单的教学大纲. The 简单的教学大纲 tool further enhances instructors’ ability to provide a clear, organized syllabus by offering some pre-loaded content, including course information and resources that update as needed. It creates its own easy-to-navigate table of contents that allows students to find the information they need efficiently. Faculty and students who piloted its use rate this new syllabus very highly. 好奇的? 请看这个例子: SP24模型课程.

Note: If you “course copy” from a previous semester, be aware that this will overwrite the new template unless you either selectively course copy or enable the course syllabus in the navigation after you perform the course copy.
