too). IT Services or CELT can help with this task. Other tutorials are available through
Lynda.com.]
[IMPORTANT: Please check your department or program guidelines for the grading
scale to use and any other syllabus requirements.]
Welcome!
[The “Welcome!” is the first SECTION for your syllabus. It is included in this syllabus template
because many instructors like to add a few sentences to set the tone for the course. If you do
not want to add a “Welcome!,” simply delete this section.]
Course Description
Basic Description:
[For this SECTION, enter course description from 2015-2016 Undergraduate Bulletin (link to
Course Descriptions) or 2015-2016 Graduate Bulletin (link to Course Descriptions)]
Pre- or Co-requisite:
[For this TOPIC, list pre or co-requisites—if none, enter “None” or remove this Topic from
your syllabus.]

location information. You could change the TOPIC title to Service Learning or something
else that identifies a regularly occurring event outside of coursework, or a special course or
program event. If you have more such events, you can copy and paste this whole topic, and
then make title and content changes.]
Blackboard Learn:
[All courses have a Blackboard Learn site. For this TOPIC, provide this link to Blackboard
Learn and briefly describe how students are expected to use the course site. Advise
students to check with IT Services to find out more about computer requirements. You may
also want to let students know the Student Support Services section later in the syllabus
provides information about computer labs on campus, laptop loan options, and additional
information about IT Services. ]
Instructor Information
Instructor:
[For this TOPIC, enter instructor name and credentials. If available, add link to professional
web site or link to profile at Department web site.]
Course Support:
[Enter names and roles of others supporting the course. You might have a Teaching
Assistant or other support for learning such as identification of the librarian assigned to the
subject area for the course. Change the title for this topic, as appropriate.]
Online Office:
[An Online Office is a virtual office within Blackboard Learn where students can post
questions and comments at any time of day or night. The IPFW “Course Template Full
Semester” has a prebuilt office built into the template with sample directions for students. If
you use this template, you can modify the title and directions, or delete the office. If you do
use the Online Office, enter a brief description of its purpose and use here. Usually, a
teaching assistant also can be contacted through the same Online Office, rather than having
a separate office area. This can be a convenient area for posting course updates as well as
answering questions from students.]
Campus Office:
[Omit this TOPIC if you teach remotely or do not have a campus office. But if all or many of
your students are on campus, you may want to enter information about your campus office
with full name of the building, room location, office hours or how to arrange appointments.]
Page 2
Email:
[For this TOPIC, enter electronic mail preferences. If you are using the Blackboard Learn
site for your class, you may use either the Email or Messages tool. With Messages, you
check your Inbox in the course; with Email, the messages go directly to your Outlook email.
If you choose to use Messages instead of Email, then change the title for this TOPIC to
match what you use. In the IPFW “Course Template Full Semester,” the Email tool has
been selected, but you can change it if you prefer.]
Phone Contacts:
[For this TOPIC, enter office phone number. You may want to enter department office
contact information for students to use in case of an emergency.]
Course Purpose and Goals
[For this SECTION, explain what the course is about and why students would want to learn the
material. Give course goals and how the course fits in the college or department curriculum.]
Learning Outcomes:
[For this TOPIC, make the title Learning Objectives if this is the preferred language. State
what particular knowledge, skills, and abilities the students will be expected to learn and
explain the relationship to department or program goals or outcomes. For undergraduate
courses, explain relationship to outcomes in the Baccalaureate Framework; for a Gen Ed
course, explain how course outcomes meet General Education Requirements. Even if your
course is not “Gen Ed,” the principles and categories might inspire your explanations of the
learning outcomes for your course. You might add how those learning outcomes relate to
any professional accreditation standards that apply. If you prefer Objective rather than
Outcome for the title and the designations below, simply change them. Also, it is fine to have
fewer or more in the list. This template simply shows the formatting. You can reduce of
increase the number. Check with CELT if you want guidance on this section.]
These are the expected learning outcomes for the successful student.
Outcome 1. [enter outcome or objective].
Outcome 2. [enter outcome or objective].
Outcome 3. [enter outcome or objective].

video menu to activate or turn off closed captioning.]
Grades
[For this SECTION, describe grades and grading (grading scale, percents, points). You might
add an overview of rubrics used for assignments and explain that those rubrics will be provided
in detail together with the assignments. Explain if any grades will be dropped; how participation
counts. You can see IPFW grading scale information at Academic Regulations Grades. Some
departments use pluses and minuses, while others do not. Explain rounding procedures. Use
the style shown below to maintain web-accessibility of your syllabus. Omit points if you do not
use them. If you use both percents and points, you could put points in parentheses next to the
percentage ranges. IMPORTANT: Check with your department or program about what grading
scale to use.]
Grading Scale:
A = 90 to 100%
B = 80 to 89%
C = 70 to 79%
D = 65 to 69%
F = Below 65%
A = 450 to 500 points
B = 400 to 449 points
Page 4
C = 350 to 399 points
D = 325 to 349 points
F = less than 325 points
[If you are using both percents and points, you might show them together as follows.]
A = 90 to 100% (450 to 500 points)
B = 80 to 89% (400 to 449 points)
C = 70 to 79% (350 to 399 points)
D = 65 to 69% (325 to 349 points)
F = Below 65% (less than 325 points)
[If you use pluses and minuses, you might group the letter grades together as shown below.]
A+ = xxx; A = xxx; A- = xxx.
B+ = xxx; B = xxx; B- = xxx.
C+ = xxx; C = xxx; C- = xxx.
Licensure Requirement:
[For this TOPIC, describe any licensure or certification requirement. Omit this topic if not
applicable to your course.]
Course Policies
[For this SECTION, state policies for the course. Several topics are listed below. Change them
as appropriate for your particular course, or for expectations of your department or program. If
your course policies are quite detailed, you might give an overview here and create a separate
Course Guide to go with your course. Such a guide, as well as your syllabus, could be posted
at the Blackboard Learn for your course whether your course is on campus or online. If you
have a department or program Handbook, you might add the link here, and give an overview of
the contents rather than repeat all the policies. You might consider creating a quiz over this
syllabus which would include the policy issues and other important information.]
Attendance and Timely Submissions:
[For this TOPIC, describe expectations for attendance in your course, whether all classes
meet on-campus, if at least half of the time is online (hybrid), or if it is completely online. For
an online course, explain that students must complete ALL activities in order to be credited
with attendance in the course. Explain policies for late work, missing homework, missed
deadlines, make-up opportunities, how to request extensions for assignments or report
illnesses that cause delays, delayed grades, and any issues related to timely completion of
course activities.]
Expectations for Submitting Required Work:
[For this TOPIC, describe expectations for submitting required work; explain types of
instructions that will be provided. If assignments will be posted online, explain how to name,
save, and submit files with the Assignment tool in Blackboard Learn by due dates. The
IPFW “Course Template Full Semester” provides an example.]
Academic Honesty:
[For this TOPIC, explain expectations for academic honesty, reasons for those expectations
related to learning in your course. Give students resources for more guidance, such as how
to analyze and research and unpack its content in “your own words.” Add any honor code
statement specific to this course. Add consequences for cheating or plagiarism (make sure
Page 5
these reflect department or program expectations).The librarian assigned to your discipline
could provide additional support, such as tutorials for your course (see Find Your Librarian).
Also, consult with CELT for additional guidance in addressing this topic.]
Special Needs:
[For this TOPIC, include the statement regarding students who require accommodation due
to disabilities, even if you also include information related to this topic at the Blackboard
Learn site for your course. Use the language below. You also may want to add a personal
statement about this issue.]
IPFW is committed to providing reasonable accommodation and access to programs and
services to persons with disabilities.
If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to
accommodate most needs. Contact the Director of Services for Students with Disabilities
(Walb Union, Room 113, telephone number 481-6658) as soon as possible to work out the
details. Once the Director has provided you with a letter attesting to your needs for
modification, bring the letter to me. For more information, please visit the web site for
Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) and refer to the SSD Student Handbook.
Civility and Ground Rules:
[Explain expectations for civility and ground rules in your course, whether related to
participation in an on-campus classroom or participation in online discussions or
assignments. Several IPFW documents state the expectations and rules. But students may
not read them, and for this reason, it is useful to point out what applies in your syllabus. For
interactions online, the term “netiquette” frequently is used, a coined term that stands for
“network etiquette.”]
[The text below from IPFW documents has been provided to help with your development of
this section, but a personal introduction and personal touch would be useful because you
can emphasize what is especially relevant for your course. You might also check to see if
your department or program has an additional student handbook to address these and
related issues that could be posted in this syllabus. A couple of short on-point articles may
be of interest to you in deciding what to put in your syllabus: Netiquette: Make it Part of Your
Syllabus and Essay on Teaching Excellence. And, you are welcome to use the following text
“as is,” if you like.]
“Common sense and courtesy” are the underlying principles for civility and ground rules in
our course. If not followed according to the rules and expectations of IPFW policies, student
codes, and ethical requirements for use of computer technology, disciplinary actions can be
taken which may include removal from class.
IPFW Policies include the following statement on civility:
“Each individual may possess different ideas, as well as different ways of communicating
those ideas, particularly in a community as varied and diverse as a university. Because of
these differences, respect and civility are integral to maintaining the quality of the academic
environment and free inquiry....all members of the academic community are called upon to
promote and value this ethic of common respect and civility.”
The IPFW Student Handbook 2015-2016 describes related rights and responsibilities:
“…values include freedom of inquiry, intellectual honesty, freedom for the open expression
of ideas and opinions within limits that protect the rights of others, and respect for the views
and the dignity of other persons…No right should be construed as enabling students to
infringe upon the individual rights of another member of the academic community.”
Page 6
The IPFW Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct elaborates further:
“In the classroom, students have the freedom to raise relevant issues pertaining to
classroom discussion, to offer reasonable doubts about data presented, and to express
alternative opinions to those being discussed. However, in exercising this freedom, students
shall not interfere with the academic process of the class.”
The Ethical Guidelines for IPFW Information Technology Users include:
“University computer resources are designed to be used in connection with legitimate,
university-related purposes. The use of university computing resources to disseminate
obscene, pornographic, or libelous materials; to threaten or harass others; or otherwise to
engage in activities forbidden by the Code is subject to disciplinary action as specified in the
Code….The University strives to maintain a quiet environment in its computer labs in order
that lab users can use their time productively and with minimal distractions. Proper use of
computer resources follows the same standards of common sense and courtesy that govern
the use of other public facilities. Improper use violates those standards by infringing upon
others' ability to fulfill their responsibilities.”
Diversity and Nondiscrimination:
[For this TOPIC, add statements below; add a personal statement as appropriate.]
Related to civility, IPFW Policies include the following statements:
“Respect and civility should therefore be afforded to all individuals regardless of race,
ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, family status, socioeconomic
level, educational background, veteran status, or position at the university….IPFW prohibits
discrimination against any member of the university community on the basis of race, religion,
color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, genetic information, marital status, parental
status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, or status as a
veteran…”
The IPFW Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct further states:
“The university believes that diversity among its many members strengthens the institution,
stimulates creativity, promotes the exchanges of ideas, and enriches campus life…IPFW
prohibits discrimination against any member of the university community on the basis of
race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, marital status, parental status,
sexual orientation, disability, or status as a veteran.”
Course Communication:
[For this TOPIC, if not already addressed earlier in the syllabus, add information on use of
Blackboard Learn Email or Messages tool, phone communication, or other methods such as
Lync, or Skype. You might begin with “In addition to expectations for civility and
nondiscrimination in our course…” and follow with what you want to emphasize about
procedures for course communication that can be helpful for you and all your students.]
Blackboard Learn Support
[For this TOPIC, explain to students how to access the course site and give them support
resources such as the following. Omit resources that you feel you do not need for this course.]
Blackboard and Computer Training:
Welcome to Blackboard Help for Students!;
Lynda.com;
Page 7
Help and Troubleshooting:
Information Technology Services;
IT Services Help Desk (Web Site);
Email IT Services Help Desk.
IPFW Services for Students
[For this SECTION, inform students of campus-wide services. If you make the list available in
the Blackboard Learn site for your course, you may prefer to direct students to look for these
support services at the course site rather than provide the full list in your syllabus. Another
alternative is to make this section a separate attachment to your syllabus. A third option is to list
the services in the syllabus and refer students to the Blackboard Learn course site for details.
As always, check requirements expected in your department or program. You may want to
personalize the first paragraph below.]
