Develop your Course Syllabus
After you develop your course for the first time, your course needs to be reviewed for Quality Assurance purposes. Without the Quality Assurance Review, you won't be able to teach the course. The standards below belong to the Quality Assurance Review rubric, and they will assist you in your course development process. If you would like to learn about each standard and see some examples, please click "more info" located under each item.
