Some classes move more quickly than others and some get sidetracked on certain topics. Some instructors even choose to issue a revised schedule at the some point in the semester. A syllabus can include as little or as much as the instructor wants. Experienced instructors almost always include more rather than less material. Include the location of the classroom, and the days and hours the class meets.
Many instructors give the students their home phone number.
If you do, make sure to list restrictions, e.g., No phone calls after 10 p.m. please. Texts, Readings, Materials. College courses are still heavily dependent upon print materials, either a required textbook or a variety of readings or text provided on the World Wide Web. Some instructors choose to explain why a particular text was chosen and how much it will be used. Supplementary Readings - in addition to the detailed bibliographic information about the readings, the syllabus should indicate whether the readings are required or only recommended, and whether the readings are on reserve in the library or available for purchase in the bookstore.
