Thank you EVERYONE who has already responded to my inquiry about
testing on course syllabi. Even if you missed the first message or are
just getting to this message in Jan. or Feb. please continue to send me your
responses. They have been so wonderful I am going to share the responses
in some formal way. My response to Sharron is below because it keeps
bouncing back when I try to send it to her individually. I don’t
know if it’s part of my institution’s singling me out for more e-persecution
or if both our institutions initials are the same and a virus filter is
blocking it. Let’s hope it’s the latter. Best wishes
for a WONDERFUL holiday/intercession for everyone.

Thanks so for your feedback. It is helpful and makes
sense. I am unable to imitate it here because teachers can not drop
students from a class under any conditions. Admin has forced me to
continue with students who have cursed me out, threatened me and the other
students in class and at home and even one attempted assault – so I know
they won’t drop anyone who has not signed a syllabus
contract… Aw well, thanks for letting me know what you do.

Subject: Re: do you test on your syllabus
Hi EK —
All students in my classes sign a mandatory Course Syllabus Contract pledging
they have read the syllabus (which is discussed beginning to end in our first
class). They are given two weeks to sign the contract via Blackboard and
are made aware of the consequences of not signing. Two weeks after
the first class day, any student who has not signed the contract is
automatically dropped.
I’ve given the syllabus quiz before, but it takes more time than the
contract and we have much to cover in class.
Best,
Sharon

Does anyone on the list test students for
credit on their knowledge of the syllabus? If so how, when and for what
percentage of the total course grade/points? If not how to you help
assure student accountability regarding the syllabus “contract”
policies, requirements, resources?
