Customizing the Syllabus
To customize the visual syllabus with your own photo or avatar, make a copy of the Google doc to edit for yourself. Click on the photo and then click “Edit” to open the editor. Click on the photo and then click “Replace image” on the menu bar. If you do not see the “Replace image” button, follow this video tutorial to replace the image. Ensure that your new image is centered within the editor. You will see horizontal and vertical lines appear to help you center the image.
To change the pie chart that displays your grading scheme, make a copy of this Google sheet, edit it to reflect your percentages and graded items, copy the new pie chart from the sheet, and replace it on the syllabus. Once you have pasted your new pie chart onto your syllabus, click on the pie chart and set the formatting option to “wrap text” and for the image to “Move with text” so that you can position it to your liking.

Discussions and Writing Tasks
Sample Exams
We are providing these exams as QTI files, a standard format that allows you to import questions, build, and customize quizzes in most learning management systems (Canvas, Blackboard, etc.). These files cannot be opened outside of an LMS.
Note: It is your responsibility to handle question banks and answer keys securely and appropriately to prevent them from being widely available and searchable via the internet.
Available Sample Exams
Questions cover specific material most important to the math department at Florida State College at Jacksonville, who authored these exams.
Exam 1
Exam 2
Exam 3
How to Import
You must download the question bank specific to your LMS, open the file on your computer, and follow LMS-specific instructions for importing each module.
