Abstract

With the adoption of learning management systems (LMSs), students may no longer rely on the syllabus to locate or confirm assignment deadlines and instead rely on various LMS locations, which may not be accurate. We suggest that faculty consider taking the time to review the role and use of the syllabus on the first day of class to ensure that students know where to access current assignment deadlines to avoid confusion and missed deadlines.
