Transition to Simple Syllabus
Following a thorough evaluation of alternative approaches to FSCJ’s internally developed syllabus tool, the Blue Wave Syllabus Builder, a recommendation was endorsed for adopting “Simple Syllabus “as the College’s supported solution. This project will implement the tool through three concurrent pathways: the Buildout Pathway, the Technical Pathway, and the Training Pathway.
