The Syllabus Lives: Known, Needed & Cared For with Matthew Cheney

A huge amount of information must be provided to students at the outset of every course.  Enter the SYLLABUS!  A universal one-way communication tool that can set the tone for your course and for your relationship with your students.  It defines the rules of engagement - the struggle for power between student and faculty.  In this episode we talk about the syllabus; how it is used, how it can be used and how it can be abused with Dr. Matthew Cheney who has written extensively about the cruelty-free syllabus.
