Starter prompt
Establish the shared baseline
Start with the common course outcomes, department requirements, and any policies that apply to every section. Then add each section’s syllabus, schedule, assignments, grading weights, LMS guidance, and instructor notes.
Label required elements separately from areas where instructors may choose different approaches.
Run the comparison
Ask ChatGPT to compare the sections across a stable set of dimensions:
- Outcomes and required content.
- Grading weights and assessment expectations.
- Due-date, attendance, and late-work language.
- Assignment instructions and student-facing terminology.
- LMS visibility and navigation.
- Legitimate instructor-specific choices.
For every conflict, require a source reference and an explanation of the student impact.
Resolve findings with faculty
Review the audit with the section leads. Confirm whether each difference is an error, an approved variation, or an unresolved policy question.
Once decisions are made, ask ChatGPT for a baseline checklist with owners and proposed language. Update source materials only after the relevant instructors approve the changes.
