The Purpose
"A syllabus has several functions:
- To invite students to your course--to inform them of the objectives of the course and to provide a sense of what the course will be like.
- To provide a kind of contract between instructors and students--to document expectations for assignments and grade allocations.
- To provide a guiding reference--a resource to which students and instructional staff can refer for logistical information such as the schedule, as well as rationale for the pedagogy and course content"
