Rubin
One of the problems listed in Rubin's article pertained to the relationships between professors and students. Rubin explained how the communication between professors and students is the main problem instead of an inadequate syllabus. In order for a student to get the most out of a class it is important that they feel safe in the classroom setting that they are in which usually means having a relationship with the professor. In my education class, one of the first things that an educator is supposed to do is to get to know their students and make them feel like they can come to them whenever they need help. If professors don't take the time, then to students it shows they don't care and it will be hard to approach them when they actually need help. In order for professors and students to get the most out of a class there needs to be communication done by both sets.

I feel that we focused on the same issues and totally agree with the syllubus comments you made. I think this is something that needs more attention on college campus's.
I also agree with the syllubus comment that was made. It is a bigger isssue than many people think.
I think the Syllabus is only set up to follow a University standard. I don't really believe profs have much to do with it or can control what they include. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems there are certain factors that must be included in the syllabus, and many of them are always the same. I don't really think the Syllabus makes much of a difference in Academics except it helps to list duedates and make rules.
