Syllabi can be a tool for both students and teachers - when created properly
As a new instructor, I've never developed a syllabus, I now have instructions. I am always early to work. It makes me feel ready for class.

This course has reminded me on the importance of having clear objectives and detailed syllabus.
Knowing your students by name and being able to pronounce their names correctly is a good way to connect with the class! The video was pretty informative too!
It is very important that the syllabus of the course is clear, concise and accurate so that students can confidently refer to it for information regarding the course.
I really like the idea of using a checklist to help remember everything that I need to do or cover. A syllabus is also helpful in making sure everything is covered, but I feel like the checklist is more personal to what I specifically need to remember.

I have learned that as an instructor, I should lay out the objectives for the day so that the students know what is expected of them. Audience, behavior, condition, and degree must all be taken into account when creating objectives.
