A syllabus reflects the instructor's own unique organization of the field or specialty being taught, and his or her student learning objectives and outcomes provide the structure for student learning experiences and assessment activities. Yet students rarely read a text syllabus carefully. Even when they do, they lack the scholarly background to grasp the big picture of the course organization from the week-by-week topical listing and to understand the cumulative process by which they should acquire target knowledge and skills.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book shows college instructors how to communicate their course organization to students in a graphic syllabus--a one-page diagram, flowchart, or concept map of the topical organization--and an outcomes map--a one-page flowchart of the sequence of student learning objectives and outcomes from the foundational through the mediating to the ultimate.
