I like the idea of taking their photos on the first day to help learn the students' names later.  I plan to try that next term.  

There are other schools of thought on the nature of the syllabus.  Sometimes less is preferable to more.  For example, there are better places for an exhaustive calendar of all assignments and project.  And many course policies will already be school-wide policies that will be available elsewhere.  

There are certain things covered in the module that I do well (or at least I think I do well).  Others I know I need to work on.  I intend to use this information to create a more formal development plan for myself.
