CFS: Syllabus

Syllabus, a new peer-refereed journal

All of us would pay more attention to what and how we teach if we knew our syllabi are subject to the same scrutiny as our scholarly papers. Syllabus, a new peer-refereed journal, intends to provide an outlet for recognition and support to faculty who excel in teaching. Please help to spread the word and pass on to your colleagues. The journal is at: http://syllabusjournal.org/  It publishes original course syllabi, essays, and shorter “tool box” entries. All are subjected to blind peer review.
