I've got to agree on the first parts. In my mind (and what I want from classes) a syllabus is a reference, not a discussion. Having all that course *conent* within the syllabus is just a tad overwhelming to me. The Week 1: Week 2: , etc, would be much more what I expect. Perhaps with a one sentence recap, but not the first person discussion. As above, you have the class to do this in - you don't need to do it all on a piece of paper from the first day of class.

Also, I'd put in more of the technical info - the list, obviously, as you say, but, you know, contact info, etc.
