In our faculty meeting, a large piece of time was spent on ensuring that our syllabi were appropriately written. One discussion was centered about the site
https://www.msu.edu/~devossda/360/
The syllabus should be a discussion of the output of the course and should portray the nature of the author.
Our provost then included a nice presentation on good aspects and structures to be found in syllabi–especially in lieu of the fact that our SACS visit is coming in under 2 years.
I hope these help…
