Syllabus Advice

OTEI provides all instructors with advice on creating a syllabus which is clear and supportive of student success.  While we work with the universities' transition to Simple Syllabus, you can still access our guidelines in The Syllabus Template Part One 2024-25 document.  Looking for our "part two" template with student resources?  These resources are being integrated into your Canvas shell by Clemson Online.

How do you work within Canvas to build your syllabus?  Connect with Clemson Online for guidance!  Visit their page of resources on Simple Syllabus at Clemson.

Part One is a student-centered template which you can use as a guideline to add elements to your Syllabus. 

AI and the Syllabus

Wondering how much AI to integrate into your course?

  • Consult the Clemson's guide on how to write your AI statement. Created by OTEI in conjunction with the Division of Undergraduate Learning and the Graduate School, this guide provides four examples that you can adopt or revise, as compatible with the university's requirement for adding an AI statement to your syllabus.
  • Need direction for graduate-level use of AI in teaching and research? See this statement from the Graduate School.
  • Clemson Libraries's LibGuide: AI and the Classroom, provides useful advice on AI use. 
  • The Clemson Writing Lab has a page on   AI and Academic Writing
