Some reasons why the Syllabus is a great tool:

The Syllabus is a snapshot: All assignments and the grading groups can be found here 

  • Auto-generated: Items and dates in the Syllabus are automatically generated as you add graded assignments, quizzes, discussions, calendar events
  • Everything in one place: See all work to be done in the course with due dates listed

More you can do with the Syllabus:

  • Customize the description area using the Rich Content Editor 
  • Make the Syllabus public and share it with users not enrolled in your course.
  • Set the Syllabus as the course Home Page
