Syllabi

Syllabi

  • Syllabi for undergraduate courses must be posted on your Faculty Profile before the first day of class and available on Blackboard if taught online. You must hand out a syllabus on the first class day that meets. 
  • In rare circumstances an Instructor feels a need to modify a syllabus after classes have begun. Should you feel you need to make changes to your syllabus, please meet with your course supervisor immediately for guidance.   However, such changes should be extremely rare because you will have thought through the entire course ahead of time and developed an appropriate syllabus, with input from your course supervisor as needed. Course syllabi used by full-time faculty from previous semesters should be used.
  • Pay attention to the “syllabus checklist” in the Teaching Excellence Handbook http://teachinghandbook.unt.edu/.
  • Include the ODA statement below:

The University of North Texas College of Education does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the recruitment and admission of students, the recruitment and employment of faculty and staff, and the operation of any of its programs and activities, as specified by federal laws and regulations.  The designated liaison for Educational Psychology is Dr. Abbas Tashakkori, Room 316, Matthews Hall.  Copies of the College of Education ADA Compliance Document are available in the Dean's Office, Matthews Hall 204. The student has the responsibility of informing the course instructor of any disabling condition which will require modifications to avoid discrimination.

  • You will also need to include some type of notice regarding SPOT (Student Perceptions of Teaching). Sample below:
    • The Student Perceptions of Teaching (SPOT) evaluation is a requirement for all organized classes at UNT. This short survey will be made available to you online at the end of the semester, providing you a chance to comment on how this class is taught. I am very interested in the feedback I get from students as I work to continually improve my teaching. I consider the SPOT to be an important part of your participation in this class.
