What is a syllabus?
• A syllabus is a contract between the instructor and the students. It describes the goals, objectives, rules, and policies of the course and NMJC. It also outlines when class assignments are due and the dates tests will be given. A syllabus also has the faculty member’s office hours, office building and number, and information on getting in contact with him or her. • Students may access syllabi each semester by logging on to the NMJC web page. Hold the mouse over the word “Academics” and then click on “Faculty Pages.” Select the name of the faculty member teaching the course in which you are interested. The faculty member’s schedule and courses for the specific semester will appear. Select the course number and click on it, thus bringing up the syllabus for that given semester.
