Well, class article is onesided. If you want to be printed twosided you need to add class option twoside. Or perhaps you can then use class report with option twoside, depending on what should happen with the title(page) ...
Please see the following MWE with used package blindtext to generate some dummy text with command \blinddocument

I'm trying to write a syllabus and I want the page numbers to be on alternating sides of each page. I am using the package
fancyhdr, and know the command to accomplish this,\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}. But, when I typeset it, the page numbers stay on the right side of the header in all pages. How do I fix this? Please and thank you.
