Syllabus review as an assessment tool

What is it about?

We describe the content analysis of course syllabi, including rubric design, training procedures for reviewers, and research questions addressed by findings. Four syllabus reviews, conducted across 5 years, document campus-wide changes in syllabus construction and instructional practices. The quality of learning outcomes improved and more syllabi described active learning strategies. The most recent review developed inventories of courses that promote information literacy learning outcomes.
