Syllabus import
If nobody has shared a blueprint for your section, upload the syllabus itself. The app reads the document and pulls out the graded items so you do not have to transcribe them.
How to use it
- From Courses, choose Add a course → Upload a syllabus.
- Drop in the PDF. Most Concordia syllabi are a direct download from Moodle or the department site.
- Wait a few seconds while it is read.
- Review the result, then confirm to add them to the course.
If that course code is already in your list for the same term, the items are added to it rather than creating a second copy of the course, and only details you have left blank are filled in.
What it extracts
The assessment name, its kind (assignment, quiz, midterm, final, lab, reading, or project), its due date, and its weight as a percentage of the final grade.
It works best on a syllabus with a grade-composition table, which is the standard format for most Concordia courses. A syllabus that describes weighting only in prose will produce a thinner result.
Dates are never invented. An item the outline gives no date for (a final set by the Examinations Office, say) arrives undated and is highlighted so you can add the date later or mark it as not needing one.
Always check the result
Extraction is automated and it is not perfect. Check the dates and weights before you rely on them: particularly that the weights total 100%. Anything that looks wrong can be edited directly.
Dates read from a syllabus you uploaded are marked unverified, because a single upload has nothing to cross-check it against. See Provenance.
Limits
Free accounts get 5 syllabus scans a month, resetting on the 1st; a scan that fails is not counted. The Semester pass removes the monthly cap. Every plan also has a short-term ceiling of 10 scans an hour, which only exists to stop abuse. Your current usage is shown in Settings → Usage.
