What do students actually read from the documents you give them in week one? The syllabus, usually once, looking for the assessment dates. The Syllabus Creator writes that document properly: aims, weekly schedule, assessment, policies and expectations, in a format students can find things in.
Short answer: The Syllabus Creator is free on EizTools, and it uses AI to produces a complete course syllabus, including the aims, weekly schedule, assessment details, required materials and the policies students go looking for in week one.
What is Syllabus Creator?
It writes the document students receive rather than the plan staff work from. Give it the course details and the Syllabus Creator produces every section a syllabus needs, in a consistent order.
The example throughout is a first year undergraduate module: twelve weeks, two assessments, weekly seminars, and a set of institutional policies that have to appear word for word.
Why Use Syllabus Creator?
Syllabus writing is the job that arrives in the same week as everything else, and it always takes longer than expected.
- The structure is the same every year and gets rebuilt from scratch anyway
- Sections get copied from an old module and quietly left out of date
- Assessment details are written last, when they matter most to students
- Policy wording is pasted in from three different places

Mistakes Students Notice
- Assessment weightings that do not add up to a hundred
- Dates that contradict the timetable
- A reading list with editions nobody can find
- Policies summarised rather than quoted, which causes disputes later

Frequently Asked Questions
What sections should a syllabus include?
Aims, outcomes, weekly schedule, assessment with weightings, materials, expectations and policies. Students mostly read the schedule and the assessment, so those two need to be right.
Can it use my university's template?
Paste the section headings into the prompt and ask for the syllabus in that order. Setting Output Type to Template keeps the shape for future modules.
Does it write the reading list?
It can suggest topics and well known texts, but it does not check editions or availability. Treat any suggestion as a starting point for your own list.
How long should a syllabus be?
Short enough that students read past the first page. Everything else can live in the module handbook, which nobody expects to read in week one.
A syllabus is the one document every student on a module opens, which makes it worth more care than it usually gets in the week before term. Get the structure generated, then spend your time on the assessment section and the policies. Describe your module above and paste your real dates in.
