In grad school, several of my professors thought it was a good practice to hand out the syllabus at the end of the first class. I always felt that this was an attempt to play mind games rather than demonstrate their support of student learning. In every class I have ever taught I always made sure the syllabus was an early handout with ample explanation and discussion. This document and what it represents should never be the basis of a power struggle!
