Justin Pickard reviewed Syllabus by William Germano
Lively, impassioned read, with plenty of practical tips
5 stars
Great book. The authors clearly care a great deal about the practice of teaching, or do a good job of advocating for critical generosity, collaboration, improvisation, and alliance in the classroom. At the same time, holding a relatively tight focus on the syllabus as a document and design for student work made the whole thing feel more manageable. I particularly valued the chapters on classtime, reading lists, and the sounds of learning.
