There's just nothing terribly interesting about checking to make sure the link to the honor code is still up to date, or in writing up the bibliographic information for the required texts.

I thought this was one of the most enjoyable tasks. Actually, unlike some of my colleagues, I have found that a detailed syllabus actually serves me well. <BR/><BR/>I agree that it takes me less time now than in the past but I do feel that the time I put in to this task proves to be rewarding come the end of the semester.The Adjunct Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997451247912489046noreply@blogger.com
