They also believe effective learning requires a complex interaction of skills, such as time management, prioritization of tasks, technology use, etc., and that a syllabus can promote the development of these skills.

Habanek identifies the need for instructors to provide learning outcomes and the methods students will use to realize these outcomes. Slattery and Carlson promote using action verbs (identify, analyze, evaluate) as opposed to passive verbs (learn, recognize, understand) when creating course goals.
