Undergraduate Courses    

  Current courses are linked to syllabi. Scroll down and click on the course to see a syllabus.
 
Save Paper!
Each syllabus is posted in two file formats: pdf and html. The content of both formats is essentially identical.  You are welcome to use either.

The pdf version is a compact format that will minimize paper and, when printed “2-up, back-to-back” will fold into a convenient size to slip into a book or folder.

The html version is a spread-out format for scanner use, intended to meet the new SJSU accessibility standards. Fonts are larger, and layout is less compact, adding several pages to the printed version.  If you need an electronic copy of the syllabus that can be manipulated for font size and format, this is the one to download.

 


 

 

Please note that, after the start of the semester, any updates or new links will be posted to the html access compliant version of the syllabi. The date of the most recent revision will be noted.
