Thanks for sharing! Reading through these comments give us a lot of reasons for sharing syllabi: improve teaching materials, gain a common perspective on how a subject is taught, contribute scholarly products to the "common good"; teaching as a shared experience, transparency in an organization...
Students at SFC chapters could write a blog post, compile a list of 10 reasons to share your syllabus and post ways to do it... a lot of the comments expressed concerns over being properly attributed for their work--putting a CC license on these materials encourages proper attribution and use by others across the internet.
