Thank you.

I know of two examples of professors who wrote a detailed syllabus like yours, albeit in different styles. One was my brother's advisor, and the other is my brother. ;-) Perhaps not coincidentally, these professors were also known for having a straightforward approach, and for their students getting through the process reasonably unscathed. That's not to say it was easy for students, or that conflicts didn't ever occur. But there was little or no confusion about the expectations.
