Title: First Impressions: How to Create a Syllabus Your Students Will Actually Read
About: Are you planning to update a syllabus for your upcoming course? Have you wondered if students actually find your syllabus helpful? The syllabus is often the first point of contact with new students and offers an opportunity to shape students’ first impressions of your course and of you. Join us for an interactive in-person workshop where you will identify key components of a student-centered syllabus, examine language and design elements, and workshop your own syllabus (or one we provide) to make it more inclusive. This workshop will equip you with strategies to make your syllabus a document students will actually read.

When: Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 12-1:30pm ET.
Location: TMEC 304 Classroom, located in the Tosteson Medical Education Center (TMEC) building at 260 Longwood Ave, Boston, MA 02115.
