This is the document that details the curriculum for a specific course, since it defines the learning objectives that have to be fulfilled and their organization in time. It is developed through a digital platform created ad hoc called E-Syllabus, which is located within Blackboard.
The professor is the person in charge of preparing their curriculum, which will pass through the Coordinator/Area Director and/or Program management quality review.

Asynchronous
The first two correspond to synchronous category and the other to Asynchronous. Please remind, Discussion forum is reserved only for Online/Blended programs. For an In-person program, forum will be considered as an Asynchronous session.
The program management team and the Area Director have set the percentage of asynchronous sessions your course must meet. Once the syllabus is completed, the system will notify you in case you dont meet the limits.
Distribution of the sessions
Distribution of the sessions
Please introduce in the syllabus the desired distribution for the planning of the sessions, that is to say, when two sessions need to be shceduled on the same date, you need to combine them in the syllabus. Sessions must be single (1h20) except when, due to the academic content, double sessions (2h50) are required but they should be minimized.
In case the content for two or more sessions is the same, but they do not need to take place on the same date, you should not combine them in the syllabys and should paste the same content on each.
