Syllabus utilized is a prescribed generic format which contains information that is not relevant or applicable to students in the course I have been assigned to teach, i.e. it references requirements for another discipline/field of study with regard to attendance and meeting program requirements. Also, it is very challenging in an "accelerated" nursing program to abbreviate content for required reading assignments and limit focus to a single concept instead of what I have been accustomed to doing at other postsecondary institutions which usually included discussing common ailments within a content area such as the accessory organs of the GI tract and discussing liver disorders, not just limiting classroom and nursing skills laboratory discussion to the various types of viral hepatitis.
