I am writing a book! If you to know when it is ready (and maybe win a free copy), submit your email on my website: www.jeffreykaplan.org/
I won’t spam you or share your email address with anyone.

This is the 6th video in a series of 17 videos on How to Do Well in College. This video walks through one of my own syllabi, and explains how to tailor one's strategy for taking a college course to the various policies in the video. It is also important to understand which parts of the syllabus can be skipped, and how to build one's personal calendar based on the course schedule. This is for first-year college students. The parts of the syllabus covered include: Office Hours, Course Description, Student Learning Outcomes, Course Policies (attendance policy, late policy, grade breakdown, etc.), and Course Schedule. I also talk about the faculty meme: "It's on the syllabus" or "It's in the syllabus".

Professors' revenge: making a separate pdf/doc file for each part of the syllabus. It pretty much guarantees we students will miss something. I have a linguistics course with a "syllabus" website for college policies, a doc for the course schedule, and a pdf with the grading scale. I simply made my own syllabus so I can find what I need. I hope there are no typos!

I had two professors in college who gave us quizzes on the syllabus to make sure we read it. There was also a class procedure in my Intro to Philosophy class to check the syllabus first before contacting the professor for any questions as a way to make office hours more effective.

Hey im in g11 right now. Ive been watching your videos and realise how much the small things in the learning process can help. Just having the knowledge that these actions are helpful and APPROVED by the designers of the course motivate me to do it. Thank you so much for your videos.

Really fantastic videos so far, a lot of this should be common knowledge but alas I never heard it from anyone and never learnt it, now I have the opportunity to study efficiently, albeit late, again as an enlightened adult, thanks Jeff, legend.

I love all your videos about college. I am a professor. I really wish I could share links to them with my students. However, auto captioning does not satisfy the accessibility requirements of my college.😒
