Blog post detailing discussions and insights from student-faculty conversations at the close of the first full semester of implementation of the "Rigorously Compassionate Syllabi" project.

This collage features members of a diverse cohort in various settings. One image shows a man teaching with a recorder, while another captures a smiling group of five people. There’s also a candid shot of a bald man, a dramatic theater scene, and a portrait of a man in a mariachi outfit. The images reflect creativity, collaboration, and cultural expression.

Our project seeks to revitalize the syllabus document as a tool of inclusion. We are interested in making visible the “hidden curriculum” with which students often struggle. The syllabus language, grading and attendance policies, communication and assignment fulfillment methods, course calendar flexibility, course material formats – these can all contribute to developing personal accountability and investment in community.
