The big idea
Building a syllabus from scratch eats whole weekends. AI can take your course goals and turn them into a 16-week plan with units, assessments, and weekly themes — that you then refine.
How to use it
- Tell AI your course title and 3 outcomes; ask for a 16-week scope
- Ask AI to suggest 3 assessment types per unit
- Ask AI to flag weeks that look overloaded
- Ask AI to draft the academic-honesty section in plain English
Try it
Pick a class you might teach. Ask AI to draft a 16-week syllabus with units and key assessments — then critique it ruthlessly.
