You've likely received a number of course syllabi fairly recently. What do these documents have in common? Of what importance will these documents be in the remaining weeks of the semester?
What will be an ideal response?
Most professors take their course syllabi very seriously—more seriously than do their students. Encourage students to discuss the genre of the course syllabus, to define its characteristics, purpose, audience, functions, sections, limitations, and language. These documents are common in a scholarly community and being a critical reader of course syllabi will help students gain membership into the community. Explain that fully understanding what is on the course syllabus will make them more comfortable with the course
requirements thereby providing them with a common language to discuss said requirements with their instructor.
