University of Ottawa Syllabus

Title

University of Ottawa Syllabus

Subject

The syllabus is an outline provided to students by their professors to give them a roadmap of the goals, expectations, and schedule for the course.

Description

A syllabus is a long, detailed document written by the professor that outlines the key information of a university course. It contains a course schedule, themes of lecture material, rules for class conduct, and technical information for the class. All professors are required to follow a certain format for their syllabi. The title page must have the University’s logo, the professor’s name, the class title and code, the location, day and time the class will take place, and also the professor’s office hours. If there is a teacher's assistant for the course, their office hours, name and email should also be included. For the rest of the syllabus, it should contain a description of the course, the objectives of the course, any required texts, the weight that each assignment and evaluation will have on the students’ final grade and a schedule for the semester.
