The Master Syllabus contains the following items and is used as a template in developing Official Course Guides: course (include designator, number, title, and credits), course description, textbook, and student learning outcomes. Course Guides are created by faculty to reflect the required items on the Master Syllabus and allow flexibility to address the uniqueness of the individual faculty teaching the course.\nINSTRUCTIONS FOR FACULTY:\nUse the following template to create your course guide. Please use a font that is easily readable (Verdana, Georgie, and Tahoma are recommended) and keep the margins as they are on the template. You will need to provide your Division Office Associate with an e-file of your course guide as a Word document by the first day of class. This can be done on a USB flash drive or by attaching the file to an e-mail message. The Division Office Associate will be able to store your course guide electronically rather than in a paper format (for example, one USB flash drive could hold an academic year’s worth of syllabi).\nAll categories must be included in course guides.\nCategories marked with an asterisk (*) are to be taken verbatim for the Master Course Syllabus for the course you are teaching. Master Syllabus documents can be obtained from your Division office.\nCOURSE:* Course number and title as found in the catalog.\nSEMESTER/YEAR:* Semester/year course is running.\nINSTRUCTOR:* List instructors including lead faculty member.\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:* Description should be identical to the description found in the catalog.\nTEXTBOOK:* List the textbook or other resources the students are responsible to use.\nSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:* Outcomes should reflect what the student should “be able to do” when he or she finishes the course.  This may include knowledge/skills/attitudes.  Outcomes should be clear, concise and measurable.   Three to five outcomes are all that is necessary.\nMINIMUM CLOCK HOURS REQUIRED FOR THIS COURSE:*\nTo earn one academic credit at HCC, students should complete a minimum of 37.5 clock hours of coursework per semester.  Those hours can be a combination of direct faculty instruction and student work, and the proportion will vary depending on the course delivery method.\nBelow is an example for a 3-credit class with 112.5 clock hours (37.5 hours direct instruction and 75 hours student work).\nThis chart must be completed for each delivery method: online, hybrid, and in-person. Activities will vary on a course-by-course basis.\nASSESSMENT PROCEDURES: Explanation of quizzes, exams, projects, etc.\nCOURSE POLICIES:\nCourse policies should contain statements about the following topics, as well as any individual policies of an instructor:\n- Attendance Policy – the college attendance policy can be found in the College catalog.\n- Disclaimer that the instructor reserves the right to modify course content.\n- Mention of the Honor Code.\nTOPICAL OUTLINE:\nCONTACT INFORMATION:\nSERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:* Students may receive reasonable accommodations if they have a diagnosed disability and present appropriate documentation.  Students seeking accommodations are required to contact the Disability Support Services (DSS) office as early as possible.  Students may contact a DSS staff member for an appointment at dss@hagerstowncc.edu or at 240-500-2530.\nThe following disclosure should be listed for any class that will be recorded, either in person or zoom, in which students names, faces, pictures, or voices will be recorded. If the disclosure statement does not apply to your course, please remove from the syllabus.\nRECORDING DISCLOSURE:* Please be advised that class sessions may be recorded in video and audio formats, capturing student participation in class discussions or activities. In accordance with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations, recordings of each clas","cbCaipwrKuZGRgCV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipwrKuZGRgCV","docx",27869,"English","# INSTRUCTIONS FOR FACULTY\n## Required template elements\n## Semester/year, instructor, and course categories\n## Minimum clock hours and delivery methods\n## Assessment procedures and course policies\n## Topical outline and contact information\n## Services for students with disabilities and recording disclosure","[{\"question\":\"What is required in the Master Syllabus, and how is it used for Official Course Guides?\",\"answer\":\"The Master Syllabus contains course information (designator, number, title, credits), course description, textbook, and student learning outcomes.
