Testimonials
“The Audit Your Syllabus course gave me a fresh perspective on a class that I’ve been teaching for a number of years. I regularly engage in course review, but I appreciated the opportunity to systematically study my course— highlighting accessibility, cost, and diversity. The design of the course is user friendly, materials are thought provoking, and reflection exercises are relevant. One of my favorite aspects of the course is the supportive community that Sara and Jane foster.They are knowledgeable, inspiring, responsive, and encouraging. “
Aubrey Uresti, Counselor Education Department
"The Audit Your Syllabus course covered much more than just the syllabus, making me aware of the tools to check all kinds of course material for accessibility, and more importantly, how to fix them! I now have a better awareness of how course material design affects students with various impediments to their learning, and an understanding of how to design future materials to maximize their usability for all students."
Melinda (Mindy) Simon, Biomedical Engineering
