12. How would a professor organize a syllabus based on a 15-week semester?
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 12:14 PM by KansDem
How would a professor organize a syllabus based on a 15-week semester course meeting 3 hours a week? What about the knowledge base? The reading list? The bibliography? The class text? Reseach? The whole thing seems bogus...

This is what I envision:

DAY ONE...
Professor: "Welcome to 'Intro to Intelligent Design!' We have a lot to cover this semester so let's get started. Who can tell us about the orgin of the planets?

Student 1: "Uhhh...'Intelligent Design' made them?"

Professor: "Right!...and gnats?"

Student 2: "Hmmmm...could they have been created by 'Intelligent Design?'"

Professor: "Right, again! Now, can you come up with other things created by 'Intelligent Design?'"

Student 3: "Corn?"
Student 4: "Squids?"
Student 5: "Ummm...that stuff that comes out when you squeeze a zit?"

Professor: "Right! Everyone of you is correct. Now for you first quiz, you will need to list everything starting with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, that was created by 'Intelligent Design' so be prepared! Class dismissed!"

I see a Monty Python skit here...
