¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ

• When submitting a syllabus, be sure that it is current and includes a week-by-week or day-by-day schedule and a list of summative assessments (e.g., projects, exams, quizzes, etc.).
• If your calendar references textbook chapter numbers, please also include chapter titles. The statewide TAG Review Panel members might not be familiar with the particular textbook.

• On the Course Details Template is a request to list when the course was first offered. If you do not know the semester or term when it was first offered, you may leave it blank or simply list the current term or semester. .
• Please provide the course credit hours and contact hours per week for lectures, labs, and others (e.g., recitation, practicum, etc.)
• Be sure to include the ISBN for any textbook(s) offered in the course.

The Learning Outcomes Template is typically the component that is most difficult for faculty to complete. Here are some guidelines for this template:

• Do not copy and paste the same TAG language for describing how ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs meet each outcome. Instead reference language that is similar in the syllabus or explain in your own words generally how the course advances the outcome. 
• Rather than phrase the descriptions in terms of what the faculty member does, focus on what the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ does; and include specific language. For example, rather than writing, "Faculty member assigns a marketing plan," a possible sentence might be: "As part of their marketing plan project, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs must conduct a target market assessment in which they identify two market segments and their specific demographic and geographic characteristics and describe what each market wants, how their money is spent and how each segment can best be reached." When describing ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs’ learning process, references to the verbiages from the Bloom's Taxonomy can help articulate the expected rigor when meeting the TAG learning outcome.
• Do not copy and paste the same TAG language for describing how ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs meet each outcome.
• Make sure that in your description for how ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs meet each outcome, you should reference any reading or lecture materials that relate to the outcome. In addition, it is critical that you include a brief 1-2 sentence summary of a particular activity or assignment that the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ will complete that is directly tied to that outcome. For example, imagine that the outcome you are describing is: "Understanding of marketing functions within the organization and external environments and marketing contributions organizational attainment of goals and objectives." A possible description might be:

"Content knowledge is gained throughout the course with assigned text readings (chapters 7 and 8) and instructor presentations. Demonstrated competency is done through graded homework assignments, multiple content exams and a graded marketing plan. For example, in week 6 of the semester, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs must submit a Marketing Plan Assignment in which they focus on identifying a target market (consumer or business) whose needs are not currently being met, not being met satisfactorily or even recognized. Students must think about competitive offerings, and how their offering will be communicated and delivered. Emphasis in this assignment is on the solution being actionable and realistic."

• For each outcome, you need to estimate the percentage of the course time that is devoted to that outcome. When you add up all of the percentages for the total number of outcomes, the total should be 100%.
