A syllabus is document professors use to guide their courses. A syllabus is a contract that will explain why the course is taught, a timeline of topics/assignments, and how a student can be successful in the course. The workshop is designed to help students understand a syllabus so they can feel more confident on staying on top of their course requirements and obligations.
