in text citations...for a course syllabus

How about using the “Chicago B Sections” output style in conjunction with MS Word’s page “Sections” capability?  The Chicago B Sections provides a complete bibliography - just delete the citation template (modified style is attached).

For information on using Word’s sections capability, see this thread discussion.  Using Word’s page sections in conjunction with a modified Chicago B Sections style enables maintaining multiple reference lists within the same document.  While the thread discussion focuses on develping a hierarchical list the procedure is applicable for listing references in a course syllabus.
