Running head: Syllabus Rubric Assessment 1 Unit 3 Assignment 1 - Syllabus Rubric Assessment – Middlesex County College PSY8170 – Principles of Instructional Design Dr. Donna Russell Capella University Lindsay Simmons

Running head: Syllabus Rubric Assessment 2 Falling Short The syllabus introductory page gives the impression that it is for elementary school age classroom setting at with the picture, not an educational psychology class. A syllabus does not require a picture, only information, unless the professor is giving a picture of a textbook to use. Sometimes, pictures can give misleading information. The layout of the syllabus overall was acceptable and readable, but there is so much information that might not be necessary. For example, the questions for each chapter for review were not necessarily a required part of the syllabus. This could have been a separate handout for the students to make the syllabus less overwhelming. Strengths and Weaknesses The syllabus provides the course description but does not give an overall objective for the course. While it does list learning outcomes, it does not necessarily have a finalized goal for the end of the course. The course does list the theories which will be learned and applied, but does not give the overall context of how these theories will be used in the classroom other than reading about the theories. The syllabus mentions research-based practices, as well as teaching and assessments, but does not go into detail. The textbook is listed, and a picture of the text is given which is a plus for students to recognize when purchasing. Office hours, classroom location, and college policies are listed in clear view and understandable. Support for students and those with disabilities are listed on the syllabus as well as the location as to where to find the necessary aid. The assignment description is precise and clear, as well as the expectations for completing the work. The grading for the course is listed in percentages, but the pie chart can make it a little confusing as well as the legend for letter grades. These two items should be separated to give better clarity. The rubrics for the assessments should be on a separate handout

Running head: Syllabus Rubric Assessment 3 like the chapter reading questions. The course calendar provides dates that readings and assessments are to be completed. Needs Improvement The chapter reading questions, the assessment rubrics, and a separate copy of the course calendar would benefit students by being separate documents. Providing a syllabus that is so long and full of information could be overwhelming to new students. The grading percentages and letter grades need to be separated. There are no census dates or withdrawal dates listed on the syllabus for the students. A clear, finalized goal for the course is needed. The theories applied in class from the readings need to have a purpose listed in the assessments. Evaluation of Original to New This syllabus reminded me of my first attempt to modify an original syllabus to my own. Most of the syllabi I have used for classes started with an original before modifications were applied each semester. There was always a new objective to list, a textbook to update, policies to add, or dates to change. Even though old syllabi may need updating, there is always a use for the document to be used to make a new syllabi and learn from past errors.
