Infographic Syllabus Introduction Activity

On first day of class, students stumble from room to room, as syllabus after syllabus is distributed and explained. Faculty struggle to rise above the “noise” of all the first classes. This session presents an active learning exercise to introduce the syllabus to students in an impactful, engaging and interactive approach. Students groups create a colorful, visual infographic of the course syllabus and share their results with the class. The activity enables each student to read the syllabus and defend their prioritized items. Groups create a visual image of the syllabus, ensuring they will understand and remember key components.
