Using the Syllabus
I must admit that it does provide for a great guidline; but, as with our Constitution, it must be an evolving document as situations and learning opportunities evolve.
I agree that the primary objective should remain the same; but, at the same time, we mustn't miss the opportunity to add, and delete, activities as the classs progresses.
I agree that a syllabus is important and a necessary document but I think it should be consise and easy to read. I have seen syllabi that are too long and the information is too congested and scattered to be easily understood.If it looks too complicated or long, I think a lot of students will decide to not read it.
Hi Jay,
Change should always be welcomed! I give my instructors academic freedom as long as it is in the best interest of the student.
