Pedagogical Panic (along with unnecessary alliteration)

1.  I have no idea if I need a syllabus for 30 or for 45 class periods.

2.  I hate all textbooks.

3.  I’m fairly certain my students will hate me.

4.  My stress is triggering disconcerting cravings for mildly illegal substances.

 Anyway, if anybody is interested, I found a couple syllabus generators (as in syllabus templates) for the paper version:

Claremont Graduate University 

Washington State University

If Naomi isn’t going to use her brilliant idea of conspiracy theories as an overarching theme for her class, I might go with that if I can find a decent book to use.  It would be a fun way to explore how information is manipulated and would work perfectly with my plans for papers. 

First Paper: Personal narrative

Second Paper: Research on external bodies that influenced personal narrative

Third Paper: Your Own Personal Conspiracy Theory

Course Title:  You’re right, they are all out to get you!
