What information should you include in your syllabus? Check to see if your institution has a template or list of required information. If not, here& #39;s a good general checklist: http://www.crlt.umich.edu/gsis/p2_1 ">https://www.crlt.umich.edu/gsis/p2_1...
When will your class meet? This calendar tool from Caleb McDaniel will quickly generate a list of class meeting dates. http://wcaleb.rice.edu/syllabusmaker/generic/">https://wcaleb.rice.edu/syllabusm...
Remember to check for holidays! Add BMindful Holy Days to your electronic calendar with this tool from @itsuiowa. https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/105264">https://its.uiowa.edu/support/a...
How much reading should you assign? How long should a student paper be? This Course Workload Estimator from @RiceCTE will estimate how much time it will take students to complete the assignment. https://cte.rice.edu/workload ">https://cte.rice.edu/workload&...
How much do the books/course materials cost? Reduce textbook costs for students with open access options. For intro Anthro courses, check out @SACC_L& #39;s Perspectives (cultural) and Explorations (biological), or Essentials of Linguistics by Catherine Anderson. #AnthroTwitter
Double-check your reading list. How many works are written by women, people of color, or other marginalized authors? https://twitter.com/angelacjenks/status/1151204579389792256">https://twitter.com/angelacje...
Consider some of these resources for "decanonizing" anthropology. https://footnotesblog.com/2019/02/15/decanonizing-anthropology/">https://footnotesblog.com/2019/02/1... #AnthroTwitter
Is your syllabus accessible? Learn more about accessible layouts, images, and text at https://www.accessiblesyllabus.com/ .">https://www.accessiblesyllabus.com/">... Also see the suggestions for constructing accessible rhetoric (i.e., don& #39;t be a jerk) and policies (consider flexible deadlines and approaches to grading).
Conduct a more detailed self-assessment of inclusion in your syllabus and course design with this survey: https://poorvucenter.yale.edu/sites/default/files/basic-page-supplementary-materials-files/inclusion_by_design_survey_your_syllabus_2.pdf">https://poorvucenter.yale.edu/sites/def...
Include a statement on access and inclusion. Check out these examples from @zoewool https://anthrodendum.org/2018/08/13/check-your-syllabus-101-disability-access-statements/">https://anthrodendum.org/2018/08/1... #AnthroTwitter
Consider also including a basic needs statement like this example from @saragoldrickrab https://medium.com/@saragoldrickrab/basic-needs-security-and-the-syllabus-d24cc7afe8c9">https://medium.com/@saragold...
How do you make sure students read the syllabus? Give a quiz, have them annotate the syllabus together, or create an interactive syllabus with this template from @acaguy. https://twitter.com/angelacjenks/status/1153378495558344706">https://twitter.com/angelacje...
