Teaching Materials
Syllabi
The following “syllabi” or course assignment schedules are for teachers and self learners to download. They have been used successfully by teachers for both quarter and semester courses. Please feel free to change or alter them to fit your own requirements. If you intend to teach just a single course, whether for a quarter or semester, this also works and the students will get a good grasp of the basics. For such a single course, you might step up the tempo to include a few more lessons.
Quizlet Exercises
The above sample syllabi integrate Quizlet exercises into the weekly lessons. Quizlet provides flashcards to test your student’s knowledge, and also offers review games perfect for preparing your students for quizzes and tests.
