Get Your Students Hired
If I didn't make the syllabus and course outline so important in my class the students would be lost, because we refer back to it quite often.
Detail, Detail, Detail! Good for students and very useful, critical even for substitute instructors. Phil
Judith,
This is important to do so you have a clear understanding by your students of what adjustments you made in the course. Good point to be remembered by all instructors.

And if you need to change it, it is good to write up a formal written amendment for the students, and explain why you are doing it.
Lori,
As has been mentioned it is a "road map" for the course so they can plan ahead because they know where they are going through the syllabus.

Many of my students "read ahead" and can schedule projects better because of the syllabus.
