Syllabus content
Providing a syllabus is important so that students know what to expect and improved student success and may reduce faculty time in clarifying class policies. It is important to realize and address faculty and student perceptions regarding important syllabi content as most students wanted syllabi that provide how to accomplish each assignment and course requirement most efficiently. Whereas, faculty prefer providing information regarding student behavior, such as student conduct, participation, and attendance rules.
Hi Pamela,
I agree! Our students are bottom line. They just want to know what needs to be done so that they can do well in the course and move on to the next course. Our students are more about the academia of the course than rules, policies, etc.

Creating a syllabus and going over it with the students is very beneficial to them.
