College wants syllabus from ALEKS??/
#1
I took statistics through ALEKS and had it transcribed to my ace transcript. Now my school is asking for a syllabus. I searched on the ALEKS site and can't find a syllabus just a page describing the topics taught. Any ideas????

They had a few stats courses... Was it intro to statistics? If so, I'd use this:

There's not really a traditional syllabus since it's not a traditional course. You could also direct them to the ACE description of the course:

They'd probably be more interested if they offered courses for college credit any more.

Dumb question: what's the difference between a syllabus and a list of topics taught?

Since it's not a course taught by a college, they may not have a syllabus.

From my limited experience, a syllabus has more data than just a topic list. Enabling and terminal objectives, required / recommended reading, assignments, external references used in building the course, and sometimes a blurb about the person that built the content.

Contact ALEKS customer support- they may have a pdf showing full scope and sequence.

You're right, and their ask may be a precursor to denying this credit. My money says they think ALEKS is a college.

When I taught college level in Iowa, our district set the template for our course's syllabus. We (teachers) all had to "fill in the blanks" and file it with our department. Topics taught would have been 1 section (along with book, faculty contact info, office hours, objectives, and rubric, etc.)
