I am one of the 3% of people who read terms-of-service agreements and hospital disclosure forms; so, I'm not a reliable guide to what most people do. I've considered doing a short video explaining what is in them; but if most people don't even watch tutorial videos, maybe I would just be speaking to myself.
I once had about 5 out of 25 students in an ethics class certify that they had read a short book I had planned to write but did not finish and distribute before the end of the semester. All but one was embarrassed when I pointed out that they claimed to have read a book that did not yet exist. The exception chastised me for pointing out her lapse. Go figure.
So, that's why my students complained about stuff covered in the syllabus. The "email-me-your- favorite-cat-meme" reminds me of the no-brown-M&M's provision in the Van Halen concert contract.
