Teaching Policies & Guidelines

Use the links to the left or click here to download a pdf copy of the Teaching Policies and Guidelines booklet. New faculty are also encouraged to sign up to receive Teaching @ UM, a series of emails with information about teaching basics.

Linked here is specific information about basic communication with your students, such as what information should be included on your syllabus, and recommendations and requirements about student attendance. These links are also relevant to your teaching practices, such as the materials you choose for your classes, and the design and scheduling of your final exam. Other links provide information about administrative expectations of you, such as your own attendance, and the classroom climate you create.
