<< I find that, using "syntax" to describe the second year course, I find
the students come in realizing that they are indeed going to approach the
language in a new way, as opposed to the memory-intensive course of study
that normally marks the first-year course. A significant change of name
also tends to prevent much of the sophomoric attitude by some that they
basically know it all. It makes that first day of the second year a lot
more enjoyable. >>

I appreciate your reply, and I think the above makes a lot of sense. I
apologize for my knee-jerk reaction to your use of the term "beginning," I
should have paid more attention to its context.
