Module 2 Resources
February 11th 2022
As you prepare for the start of Module 2, here are some resources to keep in mind:
Syllabus Policy
The Syllabus Policy can be found in Section 9.1 of the Faculty Handbook. For a summary of the main points, together with relevant resources, check out the Syllabus Checklist page.
Canvas
For help with Canvas, take a look at the Canvas Tips page. If you haven’t used Canvas before or you need a refresher, check out the video series Set Up Your Canvas Course in 30 Minutes or Less. If you have more specific questions, take a look at the Canvas Instructor Guide.
Tips for Condensed Courses
Although not as condensed as those in Module 1, Module 2 courses are still more condensed than a regular semester (e.g. 3 x 60 minutes over 11 weeks rather than 3 x 50 minutes over 14 weeks). Check out the Best Practices for Condensed Courses post for tips about how to think about a condensed course differently.
