This can be sent as just another key in the endpoint for course -timetable ( see https://hercules-10496.herokuapp.com/api/v1/course/timetable/MA61023) or a separate endpoint. We can use this thread to discuss regarding the same.

As for how to extract syllabus, one may refer link : ( https://erp.iitkgp.ac.in/Acad/subject/get_syllabus_pdf.jsp?subno= &year=20181 )

We can create a new endpoint: /course/info/{course_code} for fetching all the related information to a course such as the faculty, credits and syllabus.

Yes the thing that I am building (https://github.com/Ayushk4/twerp) would need the name of the faculty teaching the course.
