Instructor Role in FSUS
While the FSUS design promotes academic freedom in the content and delivery of course materials, there are some steps that each instructor must take to make FSUS work to enable student success:

1. Develop a course Syllabus that includes the course objectives (indicating how the objectives will be met), an attendance policy and grading criteria. A sample syllabus is provided to all faculty members and may be adapted to meet their needs.
2. Send a copy of the course syllabus to the FSUS coordinator one week before classes begin.
3. Contact and schedule guest speakers for your classes. (The FSUS Coordinator will schedule large group presentations, but not individual classroom presentations.)
4. Participate in end-of-the-semester course evaluations including the SAI, National First Year Initiative (FYI) survey and FSUS course survey. In addition, we strongly encourage participation in the University's Scientific Reasoning, and Social Awareness tests (not all sections will be asked to participate in this evaluation) as they become available.
5. Check weekly FSUS Infomail for reminders of upcoming events and new information as it comes along.
