make a syllabus

This next stage is the Syllabus Prospectus that includes a course title, course description, and at least one assigned reading. This stage asks you to think a bit more formally about the content of the course. The course title would be the official listing of the course in a catalog. The course description should give a potential student an overview of the course including what topics it will cover and questions it will address. The assigned reading will be a peer-reviewed scholarly article.

The Syllabus Prospectus will be a Word or Pdf file that you will upload to the Syllabus Prospectus dropbox.
