Framing it with an analogy:

I think for students, the syllabus feels a lot like the EULA for the course.

Do •you• read and absorb every EULA software throws in your face? Do you even scroll through it? (And of course some few of you can honestly answer “yes,” but that doesn’t mean that EULAs constitute good communication, much less meaningful consent.)

True, a syllabus isn’t written in legalese, but for students the experience is more similar to an EULA than we profs like to admit.
