Action Plan

I will be very clear with my syllabus on day one.  I will include "minute papers" into my teaching to assess progress and boost class attentiveness.  I will address problem areas with definitive actions, deadlines, and grading consequences.  I will try to remember cognitive, psychomotor and social skills in setting up my lectures and group activities.

The syllabus we use is dictated by the University.  I can't change the fonts.  

I think I did the colored paper thing with a syllabus 10 years ago.  5 years ago I started just printing the learning objectives and grade weights.  I quizzed the students on the honor code and other policies and if they knew them we didn't waste valuable time.  Today I save the paper and the trees and my students know where they can get the syllabus online.  (For the skeptics ... it is right at the top of the course and kinda in your way when you want to look at the course.)
