New Semester Prep Week (4/5) - The Importance of the Syllabus in Teaching (Stony Brook University)

Readers,

I strive to incorporate a video (or two) at least once a week in my lectures. As I prepare for the fall semester, I wanted to check to see if there were any videos focused on the syllabus and/or the importance of the syllabus in the college classroom. Stony Brook University had some very informational videos about this subject:

Stony Brook University - The Importance of the Syllabus in Teaching (Part 1)

Stony Brook University - The Importance of the Syllabus in Teaching (Part 2)

Enjoy!
