It conveys a first and lasting impression of you and the course you've designed.
And it documents and shares your beliefs about teaching. Even very good syllabi have incomplete elements that could bear revision before you next teach the course. Your syllabus is a living, creative document. How to Use the Tutorial Contact Us. Research Paper Guide. Archaeological Texts. Useful Databases for Anth024 Research Topics. Syllabus Anth 330.
