Some faculty might feel very confident in designing their approaches to Composition I to align with the CLOs, while other faculty might want a fleshed out sample version of the course syllabus that they could use or modify as desired.

To that end, we’re providing a recommended sample syllabus themed around “How Writing Works.” This syllabus was designed with the CLOs in mind, and the assignments are annotated to show how each assignment targets a particular set of outcomes.

Alternatively, please click here for a another sample course syllabus organized around the theme of “Knowledge and Education,” a theme that encourages metacognition and inquiry into education more broadly.
