What does a syllabus do? This week we think about the syllabus not just as a contract or schedule but as a pedagogical document — one that communicates values, sets expectations, and shapes the student experience. As you finalize your signature assignment, begin imagining the full arc of the course it belongs to.

No discussion post this week. Focus on completing your Signature Assignment.
