COURSE LEAD RESPONSIBILITIES
Many Carey courses have a formally designated Course Lead (CL) who is responsible for ensuring that the syllabus is well developed and current, and that the course is delivered in a consistent manner across all instructors who teach the course. This is a central service role taken on by numerous Carey faculty that provides faculty with oversight to ensure high-quality content and consistency. Therefore, the CL has the opportunity to shape the design and the content of the course.
The document below outlines the responsibilities of CLs. Although directed to CLs, these guidelines are relevant for all faculty who work with a CL to deliver a course. CLs look to such faculty for collaboration and adherence to the standard syllabus. In turn, non-CL faculty can expect guidance on materials, assignments, and pedagogical approaches from CLs. Many of these responsibilities also apply to faculty who teach courses for which they are the only instructor, and are therefore by default the Course Lead.
