Browse the Syllabi by Subject
This site offers a wide range of religion syllabi. Those whose teaching
overlaps with other fields (e.g., Classics, English) might be interested
in consulting other Online
Collections of Syllabi. Those interested in the scholarship of teaching
concerning syllabi will want to consult the attached reference
list, which also includes links with several university Instructional
Development offices that are increasingly encouraging the faculty in their
institutions to pay more attention to the construction of syllabi.
Please note the following icons, which accompany some of
the syllabi:
 |
|
Syllabus contains specific references to films or videos. Please
refer to our Videos and Film page
for a compilation of online resources. |
 |
|
Syllabus contains pedagogical reflections. |
 |
|
Syllabus includes music. |
 |
|
Syllabus incorporates a significant number of
artistic images. |
Some syllabi are PDF files to preserve formatting, and
thus require the free Adobe Acrobat reader. More information on PDF files
can be found on the PDF-Formatted
Documents page.
The categories under which the following syllabi are
listed reflect the AAR's Program
Units, expanded to take into account syllabi that do not fit these
parameters. New syllabi that do not fit the current categories are
welcomed.
