The Promising Syllabus

Ken Bain

In What the Best College Teachers Do, Dr. Ken Bain points out that the best college teachers often have syllabi that "invite rather than command, avoiding the language of requirements and setting a tone of positive expectations" (Bain 62). Participants in this “invitation-only” workshop will learn more about the “promising syllabus”—just in time for the start of the spring semester!
