Rubin`

Rubin points out the problem with the syllabus. The problem Rubin has with the syllabus is that it is vague and she cannot undersand it. I've had problems with syllabi in the past because of a lack of standardization. Syllabi that are not detailed ultimately cause problems for the students and make an unsuccessful coarse. Although professors may mention which books are neccessary, when homework is assigned, ect. in class, the students feel more respected and secure when it is on the syllabus and they know exactly what to expect.

The average full time student has four to six classes, works part-time and is socially involved, whether its friends or on campus activities. Knowing exactly what's due in a future date will put the students' minds at ease. Rubin also mentions knowing the prerequisites neccessary for the course, this is also a helpful addition that would make life easier for the student. When life is easy for students, class is better for the professor because students are well prepared and excited about class and discussions.
