The amazing colossal syllabus

In the old days, professors gave out minimal syllabi, if any at all. Now the tendency is to give students "the amazing colossal syllabus." What has changed? This article offers a good explanation. Students are so less capable than they used to be. So you have to try to explain the obvious to them.

The general rule is, the more we have of something the less it's worth. I'm glad I'm out of higher education. Did I say higher?
