The syllabus is a small place to start bringing students and faculty members back together... If students could be persuaded that we are really interested in their understanding the materials we offer, that we support their efforts to master it, and that we take their intellectual struggles seriously, they might respond by becoming involved in our courses, by trying to live up to our expectations, and by appreciating our concern.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. ETYMOLOGY
• SYLLABUS and DESIGN
Syllabus:
Ancient Greek
σιττύβα (sittyba, "parchment label, table of
contents") of unknown origin.
Medieval Latin, probably alteration
(influenced by Greek sullambanein, to put
together) of Latin sillybus, parchment label,
from Greek sillubos.
rpc 2013
4. ETYMOLOGY
• SYLLABUS and DESIGN
Design:
1540s, from Latin
designare "mark out, devise," from de "out" + signa
re "to mark," from signum "a mark sign.“
1580s, from Middle French desseign "purpose,
project, design," from Italian disegno,
from disegnare "to mark out," from
Latin designare "to mark out" (see design (v.)
rpc 2013
5. Definition According to Context of
Meaning
• an outline or other brief statement of the main
points of a discourse, the subjects of a course
of lectures, the contents of a curriculum, etc.
• A compendium containing the heads of a
discourse, and the like; an abstract.
• an integrated course of academic studies
• a description of the contents of a course of
instruction and the order in which they are to be
taught.
rpc 2013
6. Characteristics of Syllabi
• A syllabus is a document which consists,
essentially, of a list.
• The syllabus generally has explicit
objectives
• it is a public document
• A time schedule
• It consists of a comprehensive list
of content items
rpc 2013
7. • Explicit objectives.
• It is a public document.
• It may indicate a time schedule.
• Preferred methodology/approach.
• It may recommend materials
rpc 2013
8. • Rhodes defined it as” Syllabus is a word
whose etymology from the Latin means
"label on a book." The contemporary
meaning of the word is something to the
effect of "summary outline of a course of
study.
rpc 2013
9. • While Widdowson (1984,p. 26) state that
“the syllabus is simply a framework within
which activities can be carried out: a
teaching device to facilitate learning .
rpc 2013
10. • However, a syllabus can also be seen as
a "summary of the content to which
learners will be exposed" (Yalden.1987:
87).
• White (1988:92) A complete syllabus
specification will include all five aspects :
structure, function, situation, topic,
skills. The difference between syllabuses
will lie in the priority given to each of these
aspects.
rpc 2013
12. • David Nunan (1988, p.159)
defined syllabus “as a
specification of what is to be
taught in a language programme
and the order in which it is to be
taught.
• A syllabus may contain all or any
of the following: phonology,
grammar, functions, notions,
topics, themes, tasks.
• syllabus is often associated with
particular subjects (language,
mathematics, sciences, etc. )
rpc 2013
13. • As for syllabus design there are some
approaches that regard it in a narrower
and broader perspective.
1.Narrow view--connected with ‘selection
and grading of content’: Syllabus Design
2.Broader --is concerned with the selection
of learning tasks and activities’:
Methodology
rpc 2013
14. • Stern (1984) defines syllabus as
connected with content, structure, and
organization.
• Yalden (1984) syllabus is connected with
learner’s needs and aims
rpc 2013
15. • Syllabus is also connected with not only
selection and grading of content but with
specifying and grading learning tasks and
activities. While syllabus design refers to
the ‘what’ of a language programme,
‘methodology is concerned with the ‘how’’
(p. 7).
rpc 2013
17. Syllabus as a contract—Makes
clear what the rules are
• Sets forth what is expected to happen during the semester
• Delineates the responsibilities of students and of the instructor
• Describes appropriate procedures and course policies
• Content required for a syllabus to serve as a contract
– Clear and accurate course calendar
– Grading policies: components and weights
– Attendance policy
– Late assignment policy, policies on incompletes and revisions
– Academic dishonesty and academic freedom policies
– Accommodation of disabilities policy
rpc 2013
18. Syllabus as a permanent record
—Serves accountability and
documentation functions
• Contains information useful for evaluation of instructors, courses,
and programs
• Documents what was covered in a course, at what level, and for
what kind of credit (useful in course equivalency transfer situations,
accreditation procedures, and articulation)
• Content required for a syllabus to be useful as a permanent record
– Title and semester of course, department offering the course, credit hours
earned, meeting time and place
– Name, title, and rank of instructor(s)
– Pre- or co-requisites
– Required texts and other materials
– Course objectives (linked to professional standards if appropriate)
– Description of course content
– Description of assessment proceduresrpc 2013
19. Syllabus as a learning tool—
Helps students become more
effective learners in the course
• Inform students of the instructor’s beliefs about
teaching, learning, and the content area
• Focuses on students and what they need to be
effective learners
• Places the course in context (how it fits in the
curriculum, how it relates to students’ lives)
• Content required for a syllabus that serves as a
learning tool for students
rpc 2013
20. – Instructor’s philosophy about the course content,
teaching and learning
– Relevance and importance of the course to students
– Information on how to plan for the semester including
self-management skills, guidance on time to spend
outside of class, tips on how to do well on
assessments, common misconceptions or mistakes,
and specific study strategies
– Prerequisite courses or skills
– Availability of instructor(s) and teaching assistants
– Campus resources for assistance and offices that aid
students with disabilities
rpc 2013
21. • A syllabus is often thought of as “that apparently benign
document instructors assemble and distribute to
students at the start of the semester.” Whether it is
intended or not, the quality of the syllabus is a fairly
reliable indicator of the quality of teaching and learning
that will take place in a course (Woolcock, 2003).
Therefore, it behooves instructors to make the effort
to construct a high-quality syllabus. The results of that
effort can benefit the instructor as well as his or her
students.
rpc 2013
23. The syllabus is, thus, both a professional
document and a personal document, one
that reflects the instructor’s feelings,
attitudes, and beliefs about the subject
matter, teaching, learning, and students,
as well as setting out the “nuts and bolts”
of the course. When so constructed, the
syllabus can serve as a guide to the
instructor as much as a guide to the class
(Parkes & Harris, 2002).
rpc 2013
24. A syllabus lets students know what the
course is about, why the course is taught,
where it is going, and what will be required
for them to be successful in the course
(Altman & Cashin, 2003).
rpc 2013
25. THUS,
• The well-designed syllabus provides a
solid beginning to the semester, sets the
tone for the course, provides a conceptual
framework for the course, serves as a
“virtual handshake” between the instructor
and students, and becomes a resource
that is referred to over the course of the
semester. It also shows students that you
take teaching seriously (Davis, 1993).
