Silviu Hagea is the CEO of SyllabusCentral.
A new free online service called SyllabusCentral.com is helping students choose their college courses and professors by allowing them to download and view a course syllabus before deciding on a class and professor. SyllabusCentral was founded by Andrew Nadeau and Hagea Silviu, who are both college students and saw the need to connect students and professors before course registration and the start of classes.
The concept of SyllabusCentral is very simple. Students can go onto the website and download the course syllabus for any course. If a syllabus does not exist for a course, the student can "request"? that their professor upload their syllabus by providing their professor's email address and the course in which they wish to view a syllabus. When a student uses the "request" feature, SyllabusCentral automatically creates an account for that professor and sends the professor an anonymous email asking the professor to upload their course syllabus. The idea is to make it very easy and convenient for students to view a course syllabus, and for professors to upload their course syllabus.
SyllabusCentral's service offers many benefits for both the student and the professor. Students benefit by knowing exactly what is expected from the professor before registering for the course. This allows students to choose courses with a curriculum that utilizes their strengths and avoids their weaknesses. Professors benefit through a "paperless"? syllabus, better prepared students, lower dropped course rates, and constructive criticism from current and past students.
Previously students haven't had access to the course syllabus prior to class registration. SyllabusCentral is designed to break this barrier and connect students with professors in a relaxed, efficient, and controlled environment. The founders of SyllabusCentral feel that this website is a stepping stone to better student and professor communication and a better overall college experience for both students and professors.

How to Choose a Course and Professor in College
By: Silviu Hagea | 11/07/2008 | College & UniversityThe first thing you are going to want to look at when choosing a course in college is to look at your Degree Audit Summary (DAS). Your DAS is specific to your major and includes all the courses you need to take over your four years in college in order to complete your graduation requirements. Usually your first two years of college are spent fulfilling your general core requirements and then your last two years of college are spent taking classes specific to your major and taking electives.
