Are We Doing
Anything Important
in Class Today?
Designing Effective
Syllabi and Outlines
http://www.mtsu.edu/~pvpaa/ada/syllabus.htm
This module covers:
1. what a syllabus is,
2. how syllabi can aid student
learning in the classroom,
3. where to begin in writing an
effective syllabus,
4. what to include in an
effective syllabus, and
5. online resources for building
effective syllabi for the
university classroom.
What is it?
syl·la·bus
P Pronunciation Key (s l -b s)
n. pl. syl·la·bus·es or syl·la·bi (-b )
An outline or a summary of the main
points of a text, lecture, or course of
study.
[Medieval Latin, probably alteration
(influenced by Greek sullambanein, to
put together), of Latin sillybus,
parchment label from Greek sillubos.]

What is it?
Wikipedia
Syllabus (plural syllabi or syllabuses) is a document with
an outline and summary of topics to be covered in a
course. It is often either set out by an exam board, or
prepared by the professor who teaches the course, and
is usually given to each student during the first class
session. A syllabus usually contains specific information
about the course, such as information on how, where
and when to contact the lecturer and teaching
assistants; an outline of what will be covered in the
course; a schedule of test dates and the due dates for
assignments; the grading policy for the course; specific
classroom rules; etc.
What is it?
Wikipedia (continued)
Within many courses concluding in an
exam, syllabuses are used to ensure
consistency between schools and that
all teachers know what must be taught
and what is not required. Exams can
only test based on information
included in the syllabus.

• What does accreditation mean?
– Accreditation is a process of selfevaluation and peer assessment that
promotes achievement of high academic
standards, while making education more
responsive to students’ and society's
needs.
– Standards developed by interior design
practitioners and educators and concern
for continued growth and development are
central to accreditation.
– Accreditation also sends a message to the
public that the institution and/or its
programs have accepted and are fulfilling
a commitment to educational quality.

of difficulty.
• c) Significant concepts MUST be interrelated
and reinforced throughout the curriculum.
• d) Projects MUST demonstrate variety and
complexity in type, size, and scope.
• e) The curriculum MUST provide exposure to

(continued)
The teaching and learning methods MUST
incorporate:
• f) the experience of team approaches to design
solutions.
• g) experiences that provide interaction with
multiple disciplines (for example, code specialists,
engineers, architects, artists, behaviorists)
representing a variety of points of view and
perspectives on design problems.
The program MUST provide:
• h) interaction with practicing professionals (for
example, as jurors, project critics, guest lecturers,
mentors).
• i) opportunities for design work experience (for
example, internship, co-op, shadowing, or other
experiences that familiarize students with the
culture and environment of the professional studio
and professional practice).
IDES 3700
Interior Design Visual Presentations 1
Standard 1. Curriculum Structure
(continued)
– Guidance: Use the indicators to determine
whether the standard is met. Program
inputs and outcomes are evaluated to
determine compliance with this standard.
Analyze the curriculum, syllabi, project
descriptions or briefs, handouts, and
blank exams. Review student work and its
progression, variety, and complexity. Do
not focus on the work of individual
students, but look at the student work as a
whole. In other words, take a broad view
and seek the preponderance of evidence.
If the standard has been met, student work
will include a variety of project types and
the work will progress in complexity and
degree of difficulty.
IDES 3700
Interior Design Visual Presentations 1

whether the standard is met. Program
inputs and outcomes are evaluated to
determine compliance with this standard.
Review the curriculum to determine where
these topics are covered. Review syllabi,
project descriptions, handouts, and blank
exams in conjunction with applicable
student work. Do not focus on the work of
individual students, but look at the

NOTICE TO LOTTERY SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS:
•
•
•
•
•
Students receiving a lottery scholarship must earn a
2.75 GPA after attempting 24 credit hours and a 3.0 GPA
after attempting 48 or more.
Students who drop below full-time status (12 hours)
during the first 14 days of the semester will have their
awards adjusted and will owe money to the University.
Students who drop after the 14th day of class will
have their future lottery scholarships suspended unless the
drop was approved in advance by the Financial Aid Office.
Students may appeal the suspension if the drop is
due to documented personal illness, illness or death of
immediate family members, extreme financial hardship,
military service or other extraordinary circumstances
beyond the student's control.
A PDF version of the lottery appeal form may be
obtained on-line.

Interior Design Visual Presentations 1
NOTICE TO HOPE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
(Lottery) Continued:
•
•
•
Please note, the minimum GPA requirement
cannot be appealed. You also need to be aware that if you
repeat a course, both are counted towards your lottery
scholarship GPA. Suppose, for example, you receive an "F"
in a course but then repeat the course and receive an "A"
grade. Your MTSU GPA is now 4.0. But your lottery
scholarship GPA is only 2.0, not high enough to keep the
scholarship.
Finally, please be aware that these rules and
procedures have been established by the Tennessee
Legislature, not by the Board of Regents, MTSU, your
college or department.
For more information see these web sites: Tennessee
Scholar Dollars and the Tennessee Student Assistance
Corporation.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
(FERPA):
•
In general, under FERPA I am not permitted to
disclose your academic progress to anyone not
allowed to receive such information.
•
Thus I cannot discuss your academic progress,
grades, etc., over the phone or via e-mail. All such
discussions must be in person.
•
At the end of the semester I cannot disclose
your final grade over the phone or via e-mail. Nor
can I "post" your grades on my door.
•
You will receive your final grades via
PIPELINEMT or WEBMT. Additionally, I cannot
access your grades if you have a "hold" on your
records.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT:
•
•
•
•
Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic
dishonesty are prohibited.
Students guilty of academic misconduct, either
directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, are
immediately responsible to the instructor of the class.
In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions
which may be imposed through the regular institutional
procedures as a result of academic misconduct, the
instructor has the authority to assign an F or a zero for the
exercise or examination; or to assign an F in the course.
If the student believes he or she has been
erroneously accused of academic misconduct, and if his or
her final grade has been lowered as a result, the student
may appeal the case through the appropriate institutional
procedures.
