Syllabus resources for Online Teaching


Thesis/Dissertation and Independent Study Resources

These resources have been designed to assist UT faculty with the development of a contract or syllabus for thesis/dissertation and independent study, where students may earn academic credit for work that does not occur in a regular course format. All three documents are not required, but it is expected that the instructor provide a written document that clearly articulates the expectations for the award of academic credit. This includes the articulation of student learning outcomes and requirements/expectations.

For information and assistance with syllabus development or training, contact the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at 419.530.4508 or e-mail universityteachingcenter@utoledo.edu.
