NOTE: The intention of the master syllabus is
to provide an outline of the contents of this course, as specified by
the faculty of Columbia College, regardless of who teaches the course,
when it is taught or where it is taught. Faculty members teaching this
course for Columbia College are expected to facilitate learning pursuant
to the course objectives and cover the subjects listed in the topical
outline. However, instructors are also encouraged to cover additional
topics of interest so long as those topics are relevant to the course’s
subject. The master syllabus is, therefore, prescriptive in nature but
also allows for a diversity of individual approaches to course material.
