Syllabus

Reflection

• This course contains a large number of learning outcomes that require a great deal of planning to achieve.

• A well organized syllabus can help give students the information they need while helping make expectations clear from the first day of class.

• I think it is nice to create space for the students contribute to the syllabus. I would like to incorporate more of this in the future.

• In the future, I would like to host homework assignments on a free platform to improve accessibility.
