Where to Start

How did these faculty begin the process?

...by looking at the course description, looking at similar courses on the internet, reviewing in their minds what they expect the student to be able to do with the course information once completed.

It might take a few drafts to accomplish the best statement but the Learner Outcome statement should be an overview, and what the student can DO with the course knowledge.

Then what?...Summarize the student activities into one, two, or three Performance Objectives. Performance objectives are what you, as the instructor, expect to observe, hear, or read that gives evidence of the student learning.

That leaves Measures of student mastery of learner outcomes. How do you or will you measure their performance and what level of mastery is required to pass the course? It must tie back to the Learner Outcome.

And finally, it is recommended you cut and paste your syllabus into the new syllabus template. You can have more than is required (based on your subject and your departmental mandates) or your policies might be a bit more stringent than expected by the college. Implement those differences on your syllabus to meet your course needs.
