What is a Course Master?<\/h2>\n

A Course Master<\/strong> in Simple Syllabus refers to a document that lives at the course level and impacts syllabi for ALL sections of that course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an example, let’s say that WRIT 105 is a course with three sections: WRIT 105-01, WRIT 105-02, and WRIT 105-03.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WRIT 105 has a course designer who is in charge of editing the Course Master for WRIT 105.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/figure>\n

When the course designer makes changes to the WRIT 105 Course Master, those changes will propagate out to the syllabi for WRIT 105-01, WRIT 105-02, and WRIT 105-03.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
