I will be happy to provide it. Beyond addressing inclusion in the syllabus, I also recorded a welcome message that I expectstudents to watch at the beginning of the semester. In that video, I presented these inclusion ideasagain. In addition, I talk about diversity and students’ need to get prepared for the globalworkforce. Being in this course, I say in the video, “will develop your skills of working withnon-native speakers of English because English is my second language.”In addition to this, the instructional designer tested the slides and online content to make surethat they complied with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of

students to not ask questions that are covered on the syllabus?PurposeA syllabus has multiple functions that should be considered while creating the document. (1) Plan the course (for example, lay out the schedule and the assessments) (2) Communicate the objectives of the course (for elective courses, help students decide whether they truly want to take the course or not) (3) Serve as a “contract” or at least a “reference guide” for course policies (how to contact the instructor/s, coursework policies, etc)ContentAt a minimum, your syllabus should include the following information. Beneath each “main item”on this list are questions to consider as you decide what to include and how.• Course number, title, semester, section(s

major, students must take and pass a two-course series:Thermo-Fluid Dynamics I (MECH 310) and Thermo-Fluids II (MECH 311). This coursesequence is taken during the junior year. The same faculty member taught both courses, and inMECH 310, the course used a traditional, single turn-in homework method. Homework washanded out and a hard copy was collected and graded by the professor. The following semesterin MECH 311, the same group of students used the dual-submission, innovative homeworkmethod. For the dual-submission, the students scanned in or took a picture of the completedhomework. For the first attempt, it is only submitted online. The difficulty level of the homeworkand exams are comparable for both classes. The number of the problems in

This approach was created from the foundation of the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) entrepreneurial mindset focusing on the 3 C’s;curiosity, connections, and creating value [1].
