Chapter 8: Completing the Design of Your Syllabus
Chapter 2 of this Resource Guide introduced you to an Instructional Design Process – of use in integrating service-learning into your course and more generally. Chapters 3-6 explored many of the most important issues you need to consider in designing your course – reflection, assessment, capacity-building, and civic engagement. And Chapter 7 guided you through a process for achieving integration by beginning with your course themes and learning goals. You are now ready to revisit the Instructional Design Process step-by-step and create your syllabus.
This chapter provides a series of four worksheets with questions for you to think / re-think through in order to pull together your syllabus in light of the material in the preceding chapters. Click on the graphic below to access worksheets for:
- Determining Givens and Asking Guiding Questions
- Making Choices
- Operationalizing Choices and Givens
- Conveying the Package
Remember that this is an iterative, interconnected process – as you proceed through these worksheets you may find that you need to back-up and revisit an earlier question once you begin to see the full implications of your initial answer.
And, of course, you should feel free to add questions to those provided here – these questions are suggestive of the thinking you need to do, not comprehensive.
