Course, objectives, and requirements, as they relate to the goals of the academic program (major, minor, or General Education).

Required and recommended texts, software, and other materials. It is generally assumed that students have access to email, a word processor, presentation software, spreadsheet software, a Canvas-compatible web browser, and PDF reader. Hybrid and online courses should list any meeting software platforms that will be required outside of the Canvas platform.
Plan for how learning will be assessed, including a grading scale

If the professor plans to audio or video record class, a statement on the syllabus must be provided. The statement should state that “recordings are intended to facilitate studying and notetaking and are not authorized for sharing with anyone who is not enrolled in this class this semester without written consent of the instructor.”
