Here's a little behind-the-curtain look at the attitudes (and anxieties) that some professors feel about sharing their syllabi:
http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/open-thread-wednesday-sharing-syllabi/33736 There's a nice balance here and even the folks who do feel "proprietorial" (my new fave word) are willing to change their minds. As with K-12 teachers, it seems that a lack of institutional recognition and disciplinary norms (e.g. how to give credit) leads to confusion. This confusion manifests in some cases as don't-care-happy-to-share bliss and in others as not entirely unreasonable fear of am-i-getting-screwed? How do you think SFC chapters could help along this process?
