Mr. Barrett began organizing the lessons of his working life into a 12-chapter book he calls "The Syllabus".
So today we are going to make our way to what on the syllabus I have called the logic of resistance, and what I mean by that is the mindset that contributed to some of the broad conclusions that the colonists were drawing as events were unfolding in the 1770s as we've seen in the last few lectures.
We could usually answer some historical questions, some names of classical musicians and/or famous paintings, maybe even a few Latin tags – what you could call the full Michael Gove syllabus.
I saw all these on Channel 4 and BBC TV, long before their output was sliced and diced for consumption in digitised snacking form on niche channels, building a stack of tapes as tall as the room, and in so doing trying to create what the Radio 3 presenter Matthew Sweet, writing in this paper a couple of years ago, called "a syllabus of film".
A new online, peer-reviewed journal, called Syllabus is devoted entirely to the display of examples from a wide range of disciplines.
The syllabus called for the girls to write a report explaining why they were there, what they had done, and why it was wrong.
Her most recent book, called Syllabus: Notes From an Accidental Professor, collects the lesson plans from a course she teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, aimed specifically at students who doubt that they can write or draw.
Let's be real: on the first day of school, it's unlikely that you'll do more in any class than meet the other kids, do roll call, go through the syllabus, and be told what school supplies to bring.
The class explores what can be learned about society through what the syllabus calls "this maligned but revealing category of material culture".
But it also includes masturbation and what the syllabus calls "pleasuring your partner," topics avoided by even the few other agencies experimenting with basic social skills training, often because of parental objections.
