Just heard of "Project Oversight"--Heritage Foundation's harassing public #universities that are offering coursework related to #DEI. It is demanding #syllabi and other materials from UNC. Another example of the #GOP's overreach into the intellectual and social development of our country. The "kids" attending these courses are adults age 18+, most voluntarily enrollment. It's sick that the #GOP is making it harder for them to learn about topics that they *want* to know. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/academic-freedom/2025/07/29/conservative-org-requests-materials-70-chapel-hill

I'm also searching for resources on the web. It is really great when I run into a syllabus that does not have any class content in it. Oh, you got loads of class rules, but who knows what the class actually covers.

I'm also realizing that the US is as bad as Canada when it comes to ensuring consistency. I find Precalculus syllabi that don't include limits.

Lol wut???

Isn't this a Pre*calculus* class?!

I guess universities here have to do the same thing that École Polytechnique de Montréal had to do when I went there. The first year was designed to equalize the student population. I was bored out of my skull because the classes I had prior to entering covered the necessary material.

:why:

@bryanalexandee #Syllabi in #Japan are mostly generated by their instructors, sometimes standardized for basic courses, while the Ministry of #Education (MEXT) ratchets up pressure on #universities to comply with various evolving standards. Universities depend on the Ministry for subsidies, and so they generally urge instructors to comply with the latest guidance, at least on paper. Faculty members are surprisingly free in ostensibly group-oriented Japan, and departments in a big #university can have a measure of autonomy. The freedom partly stems from the general practice in business and society of harboring unspoken expectations, that people should just know their role. Foreign workers or spouses (!), etc., cannot easily find out what is expected culturally, and their proposed innovations tend to set off invisible land mines.

The Humanities Commons @hello research repository categories include Syllabi and Course Material or Learning Objects, such as mine at https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan

friendly reminder as #Educators think about next semester--here's a collection over 100+ #Syllabi policies for #GenerativeAI--feel free to peruse or even submit your own: https://bit.ly/Syllabi-AI-Policies

I always put my #syllabi freely online, and as term gets underway you can find my half-year module in Internet Law and Policy at UCL Laws here (almost all #OpenAccess) here. It's usually 20 weeks not 10 weeks but I have an eagerly awaited sabbatical in Term 2. Please share yours if you have one! https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucqnmve/syllabi/ilp_half.html #syllabus #internetLaw

I'm starting to question AI policies in syllabi. There's essentially no way to know if a student used AI for an assignment--so no policy restricting use of AI can be enforced. So why have the policy? Is it any different from having a policy in a math class stating that students aren't allowed to use a calculator to do their homework.

I do see the value in giving students advice on pros/cons of using AI.

@academicchatter

new feature added to the #AISyllabi project--many now have rights associated with them in case folks want to borrow individual policies for other purposes (e.g a curated list): https://bit.ly/AI-Syllabi

At the beginning of August, this list of #syllabi policies for #GenerativeAI was just under 50, today, it is just under 100. Many thanks to those who contributed & shared with me how helpful it's been!

I was honored to be a guest on the new episode of the Teaching for Student Success podcast, talking about care, course structures, syllabi, and what we want students to get from our work.

just sharing once again as I've seen some more folks add more policies--here's a #Crowdsourced document of #Syllabi policies around the usage of #GenerativeAI for #HigherEd--good mixture of different approaches if you're trying to find one that fits (or have 1 to contribute): https://bit.ly/AI-Syllabi

Sharing them altogether because there's been a lot interest in them--here is my institute's (College Unbound) policy strategy for AI-Generative Tools in Education
