I agree with Cynthia!
Those were my thoughts, too.

Well, I have to say that what they are compiling is of very narrow utility - in my view any way. I have never selected class readings based on what is most popular, although
it is intetesting to see what others use. When I go do my own "syllabi crawling" on the web when designing or redesigning a course, I look for much more, specifically how the course is taught, what goes on in the classroom, kinds of work/projects assigned,
grading criteria, what level the course is taught at, etc. I would much rather see a selection of actual syllabi, I learn much more from that than what these folks are doing - at least so far anyway.
