The purpose of this step is to help faculty transition their course from syllabus to NYU Classes. The outcome is a series of online participant guides that will support your students through each week. In NYU Classes, these participant guides are known as “Lessons” and are created using the Lessons tool.
Lessons are learner centric. They aim to guide students through the learning process, communicating weekly requirements, expectations and deadlines. They break down the high-level plan of the syllabus into a series of actionable steps for the learner.
This process assumes your activities are planned and set-up in NYU Classes. This process may also identify additional activities or prompt you to change due dates. Please refer to the previous sections for best practices and how to implement them in NYU Classes.
New York City’s famed “grid” design may be the most important and ingenious planning decision in New York City’s history. In 1811, commissioners Simeon De Witt, Gouverneur Morris, and John Rutherfurd announced they would transform the overcrowded area by imposing an orderly system of roads stretching up through the island’s rural and rocky reaches, from Houston Street to what would become 155th Street.
