There are tons of great resources to reference when creating your syllabus. Simpson has some requirements that must be included in your syllabi (engaged hours, SLOs for both the major and Simpson Core, and policies) but otherwise, you have room to make your syllabi unique to your program or teaching philosophy.
Here are some resources to help you think through creating your own syllabi:
