A visual method to present course material to students.
To convey the important information of the syllabus in a more easily readable format.
Let’s face it: no one likes reading pages of text explaining the course layout. Even writing syllabi is not that enjoyable with all the required elements that have to be included. What if you could convey the most important information about the course in a more visual and easier to read format? Enter a graphic syllabus. You can find examples of graphic syllabi with a simple internet search. The important points to remember are you do not need to include *all* the required elements in a graphic syllabus. Use a graphic syllabus to lay out the course structure, instructor contact information, learning objectives, assessments (including relative proportion of grade), basic timeline of semester, or any other important items you think students should be aware of to be successful in the course.

From Karyn Turla. I use graphic syllabi to show how integrative the information is in the courses I teach. It provides a graphic representation of how information from previous units is necessary to understand current units.
