1. ONLINE COURSE SYLLABI
Do you have a course syllabus online that you might like to share with
other faculty teaching the same or a similar course? This might be a
valuable resource for new faculty members or faculty teaching the course
for the first time. You can submit the course information and URL for your
syllabus to a searchable online database. The URL for the database is http://oliver.aapt.org/PSRC_forms/syllabi.html. Alternatively, you can
find a syllabus for a new course that you might be teaching or revising
next semester. Syllabi for introductory and advanced courses are
available.
