"The syllabus is a small place to start bringing students and faculty members back together.... If students could be persuaded that we are really interested in their understanding the materials we offer, that we support their efforts to master it, and that we take their intellectual struggles seriously, they might respond by becoming involved in our courses, by trying to live up to our expectations, and by appreciating our concern." Rubin, "Professors, Students, and the Syllabus," Chronicle of Higher Education
