Hi Bob,
Well put. The syllabus can be a very valuable teaching tool if developed and used properly. Many instructors view the syllabus as something they have to write and give to students. They don't see the contributions the syllabus can make to reducing student frustrations and stress. As you say it removes a lot of misunderstanding and gives the students the requirements, expectations and polices of the course. This to me is forward focused in terms of planning and providing direction for and to students.
