There are certain requirements dictated by the University and by the State that must be taken into account and articulated in your Course Policy. Some of these may be imbedded in the syllabus itself and some must be an explicit part of your course policy:

" a description of your course policy: begin your syllabus by defining your goals and outcomes. See the LLP course objectives.
" a focus on "critical thinking": include these words, perhaps in your course policy to connect with the course outcomes articulated in the catalog.
