New resource. The Syllabus Extraction Test.

Seed, Sprout, Grow, Harvest. About twenty minutes, done by hand, on your own syllabus.

You pull every dated item out of your syllabus into one list. Then you list everything that matters and carries no date, the policies and the reasons and the sequence arguments. Then you name the single undated thing that would hurt most if a student never met it, and you attach it to a dated item.

You finish holding a written extraction report with two lists and one decision, plus the share of your syllabus that actually survives a machine reading.

Nothing is saved, nothing is transmitted, no account. Copy your report out before you close the tab.
