Consult with your mentor and/or colleagues on the Campus and in your department/school/independent college concerning requirements for your syllabus in addition to this brief advice.  Remember that many people will be reviewing your syllabi:  your students, the RTP Committee on the Tuscarawas Campus, the Campus Dean, evaluators from your department/school/independent college and university administrators at all levels.  Some faculty provide syllabi with daily expectations; others prefer a more streamlined document, but students should be able to understand basic expectations.
