NYTimes: What a Million Syllabuses Can Teach Us

Hi everyone

Here is an interesting article from the NY Times. How useful are highly organized course syllabi? What were your experiences in the MEd program?

Cheers,

I have to say that it is so important to have a well-organized syllabus available for students. It contains so many necessary information that students need everyday for their study. All due dates for assignments and tests explicitly stated on the syllabus also greatly help students organize and plan their schedule ahead of time, so that they are able to plan other things into their lives. Besides, syllabus also provides the purpose and objectives of the course, that make both professor and students be clear with what need to be taught to students and what will be learnt from professor. Additionally, all required readings and materials for the course are also listed on the syllabus for students' use.
