Purposes of a Syllabus September 30, 2019 - 12:21pm

Syllabi seem to vary in two fundamental areas—the apparent reason for writing the syllabus and the material that it contains. The purpose of the syllabus should drive the decision as to what content to include (Parkes & Harris, 2002).

  • Syllabus as a permanent record
  • Syllabus as a learning tool
