You want to know whether information in a syllabus truly affects whether students are likely to take a class. You prepare three syllabi for a Developmental Psychology class, which vary only in the focus of the class assignments. One syllabus uses field work to examine developmental concepts, another syllabus uses novels, and a third syllabus uses films. First-year students were randomly assigned to read a syllabus and rate the likelihood that they would take the class. They were first matched on desired major and high school GPA.
