resources for student learning, such as availability of tutoringsessions, writing centers, or student disability services [6]. Syllabi also provide an opportunityfor instructors to exhibit empathy or provide motivation to students through the communicationof course policies. Demonstrations of empathy have the potential to provide additional support tostudents within the classroom and influence student success [8], [9]. Furthermore, past studieshave demonstrated that fundamental information about a course can be deduced from coursesyllabi [10], [11], [12]. However, there has been a lack of research exploring the ways in whichcourse syllabi can be used to examine transparency and support systems provided to students inengineering courses. The purpose

The reflections were read in order of Gabby, Paige, and Fiona. While reading through thecontent, Gabby wrote pen/paper notes of things that stood out and then prepared memos.
