3. SYLLABUS CONSTRUCTION
A syllabus is a tool
 It exists to serve a purpose
 You have to define that purpose
 I suggest that there are two large purposes
 The syllabus should make a PROMISE
 The syllabus should provide a PLAN


4. SYLLABUS CONSTRUCTION
The syllabus should present this information
in a way that is
 Simple
 Clear
 Unambiguous
 Straightforward, and
 Easily found

5. SYLLABUS CONSTRUCTION



Reasons to make this promise
First, it is the kind and humane thing to
Second, it implies an attitude. It says, I have
planned this carefully and I expect that you
will plan your participation in this course
carefully, too.
