编写教学大纲

Be aware of the tone you are using when you write your syllabi. Think about describing your course in terms of students’ opportunities to learn rather than required assignments. Many instructors find it tempting to translate their pet peeves into a list of prohibitions accompanied by the threat of sanctions: no cell phone use or text messaging, 不要戴棒球帽, 等. Simpson students are unlikely to respond favorably to such language. That does not mean that your syllabus should not address issues of civility, but students tend to respond more favorably if you describe the respectful behavior you expect of all your students than if you describe the disrespectful behavior you will not tolerate.
