Revamp the Syllabus
From Boring Scroll to Dynamic Tool
In the world of academia, business school syllabi are the driest, most ignored documents on campus. Professors and students alike treat them like ancient scrolls—untouched and irrelevant. Faculty hide behind these relics, and professors rarely follow them to the letter. So why do we perpetuate this madness?
Enter the era of digital innovation. Why not ditch the outdated syllabus for something sexier? Platforms like Notion, Craft, and Coda offer dynamic, interactive templates that invite engagement. Imagine a syllabus that's not just a static document but a living, breathing conversation. These tools allow for real-time updates, collaborative input, and a visually appealing format that can actually hold attention.
Let's drag our course materials kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Make the syllabus something students want to read, not something they’re forced to skim. Revolutionize the way we present our courses and watch engagement soar.
