Extreme Makeover - Syllabus Edition

I remember with dread the first week of school and the time wasted reviewing the syllabus for each and every class I was taking.  They were all the same.  12 point Times New Roman text that seemed to be bloated and out of control.  I think the longest one was 16 pages but I'm too old to remember anymore. 

This afternoon, I was reading the Chonicle of Higher Education and found a link to this article that shows the redesign of a syllabus that I found impressive.  Although history has not been my favorite subject in the past, I might consider taking this course.

I hope this is helpful to you.
