Great audit but can't print it for future reference. Warning comes up about macros.

This AUDIT seems to be a very useful guide for professors to use to ensure that their syllabus is accessible. The AUDIT touches on categories such as availability, course content, and accommodation information. I think this is a great start to having a course become more accessible.

I thought this audit was very thorough specifically the availability portion. Accessing a document can be difficult at time without instructions if it is not a simple link to click on. Also, having the capability to edit a document with errors as well is very important for personal understanding.

I found this audit to be very useful and contained necessary information, especially for online syllabuses. The audit did a great job of including aspects that would make it useful to alter the syllabus if needed.

This audit was very useful for analyzing the accessibility of various syllabi my professors offer in classes. It is simple to complete, and the wording is easy to understand. I appreciate that the scores automatically calculate on the Excel sheet. The audit addresses various aspects of a syllabus that could affect individuals with different impairments. This is especially useful to determine whether a syllabus is accessible to individuals with visual impairments.

This AUDIT is particularly helpful and includes the necessary components that would make a syllabus accessible. Considering the fact that a syllabus can be duanting in the beginning of the semester, this resource would be helpful for all students. I think this would be especially helpful for individuals living with vision sensory, and intellectual (cognitive) impairments.
