QM-informed syllabus feedback

What's Missing From Your Syllabus?

Upload or paste your syllabus. See what students would be left guessing about, and get language you can copy straight in.

What this checks. Fifteen things a college syllabus should tell students, organized around the eight Quality Matters General Standards: Course Overview and Introduction, Learning Objectives, Assessment and Measurement, Instructional Materials, Learning Activities and Learner Interaction, Course Technology, Learner Support, and Accessibility and Usability. For every gap, you get draft language written to match your syllabus, ready to edit and paste. This is a practical check, not a QM review, and it does not apply the QM Rubric.

What a syllabus can't show you

A QM course review looks at the whole course, not the syllabus. Even a syllabus that covers everything above still leaves these to verify inside your course shell:

Module-level objectives, and whether they're measurable and consistent with your course outcomes
Whether your assessments, materials, activities, and tools actually align to your objectives, module by module
Rubrics attached to the assignments themselves
Course navigation and readability
Alt text on images, captions and transcripts on video
Vendor accessibility statements for the tools you require
Your introduction, and a place for learners to introduce themselves
