During this module the sample syllabus provided a guide and know each of us has experienced in our own education of DL at various institutions the good, bad and ugly.

The best syllabus in my DL experience was when the professor gave choices, write papers, post online, book reviews, and find key websites that support the course objectives. Each had a point value and you needed a total number of points to complete the course and each received a grade. I found this allowed to adult student who also worked choice to when they could best complete the work. Guidance was clear and expectations clear on what was required to complete the course.

The ugly for me was a 72 page syllabus that was so confusing it was difficult to track what was expected and when the due dates were. Had to develop a separate excel to track timelines. It failed to answer the key questions highlighted in this module:
1. What is the purpose of the assignment
2. What am I expected to demonstrate in this assignment
3. Of what relevance is this assignment to the learning objectives.
4. Why is it important for me to complete this assignment
5. What am I expected to include in my answer

Any other experiences anyone can share?
