Dear All,
In order to foster consistency and quality in our CAPS program and to be in compliance with the increasing need for transparency and accountability as required by Middle States, we have elected to utilize a master syllabus methodology to manage course development and delivery.
The benefits of this methodology are:
1. The master syllabus contains provisions needed to meet accreditation requirements.
2. The master syllabus focuses on those elements that are common to all offerings of the same course, aiding in the consistency of meeting course, program and college-wide learning objectives. This respects the academic freedom for adjunct faculty who wish to expand upon the basic framework, while leaving the required course assessments consistent.
3. The master syllabus is linked to the institution’s core curriculum content and evaluation process. Mandated elements are specifically addressed in master syllabus learning outcomes, and are part of the program learning outcomes assessment matrix as established by the full-time program faculty.
4. The master syllabus is managed electronically making it available to faculty, 24-7.
To be certain that you are using the most current version of the master syllabi, please make sure that visit the instructor lounge before teaching any courses for the upcoming 2010 calendar.
If you need assistance accessing the syllabi, please contact Lenore Goldberg at goldbergl@centenarycollege.edu.
If you have any questions please contact Anthony Yacullo at yaculloa@centenarycollege.edu.
Best,
Deirdre Letson
