There are many ways to do to so. In this talk, Dr. Val\u00e9rie V\u00e9zina will interactively discuss how to engage students in building their own syllabus (and ultimately their course!). From values and rules in the classroom, to topics covered in class and assignments, there are ways to involve students so that the syllabus is not just something that is thrown on their desks, but a living document, a \u201ccontract\u201d that they debate and agree on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-38826","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2024-10-03T14:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2024-10-03T16:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"LA","cu_event_meeting_room":"A602","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/38826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/38826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38828,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/38826\/revisions\/38828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=38826"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=38826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
