Course Syllabi

The course syllabi are essential tools the Division of Educational Affairs uses to ensure students are informed and knowledgeable of the overall course delivery, logistics, instructor expectations, instructional objectives, expected student outcomes, and competencies.

The District measures student academic performance for both career and educational programs.  Each career program course is aligned with the measured competencies or requirements to ensure that students have obtained the necessary skills for job placement and become licensed/certified professionals in their field.

Each academic program is measured according to instructional objectives, program objectives, and overall student outcomes upon degree completion.  The instructional objectives are included in the course syllabi to help students:

1. Understand what they will learn
2. Guide their course experiences and self-assessment
3. Define preset discipline standards
