Chаpter IV. From syllabus design to lesson planning
A syllabus serves many functions in a class. In The Course Syllabus: A Learning Centered Approach (2008, 2nd Ed.) Judith Grunert O’Brien, Barbara J. Millis and Margaret W. Cohen identify at least sixteen elements of a learner-centered syllabus:

Acquaints students with the logistics of the course
Contains collected handouts
Defines student responsibilities for successful coursework
Describes active learning
Helps students assess their readiness for your course
Sets the course in a broader context for learning
Provides a conceptual framework
Describes available learning resources
Communicates the role of technology in the course
Can provide difficult-to-obtain reading material
Can improve the effectiveness of student note taking
Can include material that supports learning outside the classroom
