About the Syllabus

A syllabus is often regarded as a contractual agreement between teachers and students regarding their learning. It serves to convey important information, establish rules and expectations, and outline responsibilities in the course. The syllabus is crafted with the student in mind, and presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. As the syllabus is typically the first item presented by the teacher, it sets the tone for the course and subsequent communications. Within the syllabus, the course content is described, the purpose of the course is explained, and students receive information about the skills they will acquire upon completing the course (learning outcomes). For further details on the syllabus content, please refer to the syllabus template.

This template was developed in collaboration with experts in educational science. Teachers are free to modify and adapt it to their course.

It is important to ensure that the information in the syllabus is consistent with the course catalogue, rules, and regulations of the University of Iceland.
