| I meant that both experience and information is important. Its one thing to say that a professor is difficult because he or she requires quite a bit more work in comparison to others in the department. So based, on hearing this, other students may avoid the professor. However, sometimes student's notions of certain professors are not true. I guess the syllabus wouldn't be so bad in conjunction with the student's previous experineces with a given professor. The syllabus can only say so much, but the experience that the student has with an instructor says a lot more. |
