Getting Started for Summer 2008
Course Syllabus Development
Your Course Syllabus
All faculty members are required to prepare a syllabus for each specific class section. The syllabus should describe how the individual instructor will carry out the terms of the official course outline by giving specific dates, grading standards, and other rules of conduct of a course required by the instructor. A syllabus allows the instructor to include methods and topics which may go beyond the course outline and gives the instructor the opportunity to bring out his or her individual talents and strengths. To learn more about developing a comprehensive syllabus, click here. For samples of exemplary course syllabi, click here.
Provide the Division Office with a copy of your course syllabus within the first week after the beginning of each class. Submit your syllabus in hard copy form or electronically to Sue Brown in VIL 7 - 34 or via email at sbrown67@saddleback.edu.
Faculty Profile
All faculty members are encouraged to create and post their faculty profile on the online class schedule. In addition to pertinent information about you as a faculty member, please attach a link to your class web page. To create your faculty profile, click here.
Samples of Faculty Profiles for:
June Millovich
Amira Rezec
For questions or concerns about creating and posting your Faculty Profile, please contact our ITC staff via email at
usersrv@saddleback.edu.
Class Web Page
Students use the online class schedule to "shop" for classes. To better inform students of the content and procedures of your class prior to registration and/or the first class session, please consider establishing a class web page and posting it to the online class schedule. To get you started, the College will develop a class web page for each division faculty member. Once created, you can easily post the web page by attaching it to your Faculty Profile.
To learn how to create and maintain your Class Web Page - please click here.
Blackboard Account
You are encouraged to establish a blackboard account to post your syllabus, course calendar, assignment descriptions, lecture notes, and discussion boards for each of your classes. You can create a new blackboard account by completing and submitting the "Blackboard Faculty User Request Account Form ." To access this form, click here.

Textbook Orders
As you begin to order textbooks and other instructional materials for summer, please work closely with the textbook publishers. Book companies tend to have “deep” pockets. Specific to your discipline, you may find that many textbooks now come with a wealth of resources such as video clips, tutorials, online tests, links to supporting information, and textbooks online, etc. Dynamic textbooks and their supporting resources will assist you in creating a productive and innovative learning experience for your students.
Per the College's official outline for credit courses, faculty members must assign readings from a college-level textbook. In addition, specific courses may require and be augmented by additional reading sources such as newspaper articles, journals, primary source readings, and literature based books. For further information on your selection of textbooks and additional reading sources, please consult with the official course outline and the department chairperson. You can obtain a copy of the official course outline through Cyn Roberts in the division.

Student Support for Textbooks
The cost and potential lack of access to textbooks can make it difficult for students to take and/or be successful in your classes.
To support students with textbook costs and availability, please consider the following..
- Submit your book order to the division office and campus bookstore.
- Ask your textbook publishers for two desk copies of your textbook. Place one desk copy on reserve in the college library.
- Limit the number of textbooks/instructional resources to what is absolutely necessary to support the learning in your course. With higher gas and housing prices, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for our students to purchase expensive textbooks/instruction resources.
- Be creative. Explore alternative (and less expensive) sites for students to purchase textbooks. Via online or at a number of off-campus bookstores, textbooks may be less expensive and easier for students to obtain.
- Include the title and ISBN number of your textbook on your faculty profile, class web site, and course syllabus. This will enable students to obtain textbooks at alternative sites such as the internet, off-campus bookstores, through friends, etc.
For alternative sites for students to purchase their textbooks, click here.
Security Procedure for Textbooks
For the safe delivery of textbooks to faculty once these textbooks have been delivered to the Village 7 mailroom, the division staff will follow this process.
- Textbooks will be hand-delivered to the cubicles of all full-time faculty members with office space in Village 7.
- Most textbooks will be packaged and labeled. The textbooks will be placed under lock and key in the division office area - Village 7. Faculty will receive a notification of a textbook arrival in the division mailbox and instructed to immediately ask Sue, Cyn, Michelle, or Patti for the textbook package.
