Psychology Psychology Assignment

Teaching Portfolio Assignment: Course Syllabus DevelopmentUsually at the start of the college term, students receive a syllabus outlining the course requirements. From classroom rules and grading criteria to required texts and assignments, the course syllabus provides students with a roadmap for the course. As an instructor, the course syllabus is your initial communication with students regarding your expectations for successful completion of the course.
