OPTIONAL

[Research has shown that instructors can have a significant impact on how much students learn and how much they enjoy the course by expressing a positive and enthusiastic attitude toward the course subject matter and the students’ ability to learn it. You may use this section of the syllabus to (a) add Course sub-outcomes, (b) explain the general relevance of the course content to your students’ personal and professional lives, and/or (c) list the specific benefits of taking the course. Why should students be enthusiastic about taking this course? What is in it for them? Consider writing to the student audience, not to other faculty or administrators.]
