Read your syllabus. Aside from potentially getting a great treat from your professor - there is vital information in there that you need. Read it. Trust me. #syllabus #collegelife #creatorsearchinsights

not a single one of my college freshmen read my syllabus. How do I know? Because I always hide some sort of an Easter egg in my syllabus. I always have. But this year, uh, Professor Denon, if you follow him, his little Easter egg in his syllabus was genius. I'm like, I'm going to use that too. And the Easter egg is, do you see it up there? Email me your favorite candy or treat. That's it. That's all I wanted. Just send me an email if your favorite candy or treat. And I was actually going to bring it to them if they emailed me. Uh, we are now in week two. I haven't gotten a single email. I have had them do a syllabus quiz and a syllabus discussion. But apparently nobody actually read the syllabus. They must have just searched the syllabus for the answers to the quiz, which you know what? Work smarter and not harder. If that's something that you do and it's working for you in your academic career, that's awesome. But if you are a college freshman, you need to get in the habit of reading your syllabi. There are so many pieces of information in those syllabi that are going to help you out in that class. I have due dates. I have every single assignment with the rubrics attached. I have information on how to contact me, information on the textbook, information on how to contact their classmates. I have writing center information. Everything is in that syllabus and everything is going to be helpful to them. I know you don't want to read it. A lot of times, I don't want to write it. But I'm telling you, read the syllabus. And thank you, Professor Dunin. I liked your Easter egg much better than my own.
