The syllabus is an essential learning resource for students. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of the syllabus but to date, no studies have addressed whether the syllabus needs to continue as a stand-alone document given the information contained within it can be, and often is, shared with students via the learning management system. At conference sessions focused on the syllabus, faculty have questioned the need for essential course information to be conveyed in a document format as technology has progressed. In this study, 396 students and 75 faculty members at a community college and a public university granting undergraduate and graduate degrees completed a survey. Results indicated that both students and faculty agreed that a separate syllabus document is still preferred, with faculty more strongly agreeing. No significant differences among students were found based on race or type of institution, but women as compared to men were more likely to indicate a preference for a separate syllabus. Graduate students, as compared to undergraduate students, were also more likely to prefer a separate syllabus document. No significant differences in terms of the type of institution, years teaching overall or online, or race or gender were found in the faculty sample. Suggestions for future research are provided.
