Administrative - Master Syllabus
COVER SHEET
Purpose: It is the intention of this Administrative-Master Syllabus to provide a general description of the course, outline the
required elements of the course and to lay the foundation for course assessment for the improvement of student learning, as
specified by the faculty of Wharton County Junior College, regardless of who teaches the course, the timeframe by which it is
instructed, or the instructional method by which the course is delivered. It is not intended to restrict the manner by which an
individual faculty member teaches the course but to be an administrative tool to aid in the improvement of instruction.
