Purpose: It is the intention of this Administrative Master Syllabus to provide a general description of the course, outline the

specified by the faculty of Wharton County Junior College, regardless of who teaches the course, the timeframe by which it
is instructed, or the instructional method by which the course is delivered. It is not intended to restrict the manner by which
an individual faculty member teaches the course but to be an administrative tool to aid in the improvement of instruction.
