Teaching
Enhancement Workshop Syllabi Resources
Required Statements:
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES
ACT: Any
student whose disability falls within ADA guidelines should inform
the instructor at the beginning of the semester of any special accommodations
or equipment needs necessary to complete the requirements for this
course. Students must register documentation with the Office of Disability
Services and/or Academic Support Center. If you have questions, call
Student Development at extension 7800.
COURSE ASSESSMENT: Hope College
expects all students to assess each course in an effort to continuously
improve student learning. At the end of the semester, you will be asked
to assess how well this course met its stated goals. Your responses
will be kept anonymous, but I will take the collective results seriously
in thinking about how to provide Hope students the best possible education.
Your responses matter. You are urged to participate in this important
process.
Heads Up!
If you are teaching in one of
the approximately 28 programs for which elementary, secondary,
or K-12 certification is
available,
your syllabus will have to reflect the state of Michigan standards
for your discipline. See your chair. Help is available from the
dept. of Education at Hope.
If you are teaching in the general education
core, you should be aware of the "Characteristics of
the General Education Curriculum: Cross Curricular Themes" in
the college catalog available online from the registrar's page. http://www.hope.edu/admin/registrar/

also receive only the first menu (Patterns) on day 1. The others are
