Preparing a Syllabus

Preparing a Syllabus

A Syllabus is a kind of advertising booklet of the discipline, and its purpose is to explain to the student the content, meaning, and form of the discipline, "what is it about", "why is it" and "how will it happen". The syllabus should answer the questions "What knowledge and practical skills will I gain by listening to this course?", "What will I get at the end - as a result of the training?", "How will the training be organized and what topics do the course contain?". In addition, the syllabus usually includes "rules of the game",  the rules of interaction between students and the teacher, the teacher's policy on deadlines, assessment, attendance, academic integrity, behavior in the audience, and others. The Syllabus does not replace the work program of the discipline - it's just different genres.
