Title
The Purposes of First-Year Course Syllabi According to Corpus Data
Abstract
The author collected 19 syllabi for first-year undergraduate courses at a mid-sized public university and analyzed them with the use of a concordancer. The analysis revealed strong tendencies for particular items to be overrepresented in syllabi compared to other genres of writing. The results also support a
view of syllabi firstly as a set of expectations on both the student and instructor.
