I include here three of my own syllabi, and a number of other submitted by other risk educators. As time allows, I will develop a typology of risk analysis syllabi. I teach two very different graduate risk classes (and hope that students will take both): one covers risk analysis methods--toxicology, epidemiology, Bayesian and Monte Carlo Analysis, and so on. The other is a seminar in which we work through why we would bother to do such methods, how risk information fits into our decision-making processes, and so on. This is outlined on my risk education philosophy page.

Submit your syllabus

Please send me a note letting me know what you think. As you use individual items, especially those that I have created, at a minimum let me and the appropriate syllabus author know that you have used them, and please send constructive criticism, including (but not limited to) editorial suggestions, more efficient solutions, alternate viewpoints and so on. These will be most useful to me as I argue to my department Chair, Dean, Provost, etc, that the effort I dedicate to risk education is valued by my peers.
