Uses

Assigning a syllabus quiz or a syllabus review encourages students to read the full course syllabus. It can be an opportunity to highlight specific aspects of the syllabus, or it can serve as a contract affirming understanding of course goals and expectations.

Having your students annotate your course syllabus—marking up areas where they have questions—is another great way to ensure that they have read and understand the syllabus. It also allows students to share a common dialogue about the syllabus so everyone can learn from each other’s questions. Perusall, Hypothesis, or even Google Docs are just a few of the social annotation tools that you can have your students use to leave comments on a digital version of your course syllabus. If you plan on using social annotation for other areas of your course (such as having students comment upon readings, websites, or videos throughout the course), having students annotate the syllabus is a great way to introduce them to the social annotation tool you plan to use.

Refer to the Perusall or Hypothesis pages with the Course Navigator to learn how to set up assignments using these tools.
