Prepare a first draft of the syllabus for your section(s). If you don't have all the information you need (section number, day, time, location), make it obvious where that information will be added.

For instance you might put:

Ultimately, I will want you to submit your second draft of your syllabus to me via bspace (http://bspace.berkeley.edu). But until you are enrolled in the course, you can't access bspace. So you have until August 29 to submit the 2nd draft via bspace.
