Last year's syllabus ?

Published

Today I was browsing around Blackboard to see if there were any announcements regarding clinical placement, etc. What I stumbled upon was last year's syllabus (It was in the folder for my Fundamentals class that starts in a few weeks, but when I opened the document, it said Fall 2008)

How similar do you think this year's syllabus will be? I have all of my books and I'm considering reading some chapters.. I'd assume that the beginning of the year will be about the same.. first couple of chapters?

Thanks everyone!

I've found syllabus from previous years and previous semesters and when I talk to other students they say its the same. I'm pretty sure they will practically be the same or only slightly different. Ask around if you can; but if you can't I still go over the information so you can know at least what to expect. It may give you some leadway if you're an overacheiver like by reading what will be assigned the first week. Good luck. This is just my personal opinion on past and previous syllabi.

I e mail my teachers for a heads up on what to read for the first few weeks of classes, and they are always more than happy to give their syllabus or what chapters they will start with. I have twice now heard of people who read ahead, only to find out that the teacher changed the old syllabus.

good luck!

I think each semester is very individualized, but it doesn't hurt to start reading the chapters.:nurse:

I would love to get a hold of a previous syllabus... but I suppose now it really doesn't matter much because I start in a week... Yikes! The instructors all handed us reading assignments at our orientation in May. If this is a taste of what it's going to be like every week.... I'M DOOMED! DOOMED, I SAY!
