Syllabus HTML Template (Freebie)

Is there any document in academia that is simultaneously more important and more ignored than a syllabus? We pour hours into crafting it, only for students to ask questions that are answered on page three.

This observation really pushed me to rethink my syllabus page in Canvas. I decided to treat it less like a legal contract and more like a user-friendly guide—a "TLDR" (Too Long; Didn't Read) version that hits the key points and sets the tone for the entire semester.  While my students still have to read and annotate the full PDF syllabus for a week-one assignment, the Canvas page is their go-to hub.
