sociology, observed that more is taught and learned in schools than specified
in the established curriculum of textbooks and teacher manuals.
Syllabus:

plural syllabuses or syllabi is an academic
document that communicates course information and defines expectations and

curriculum). A syllabus may be set out by an exam board or prepared by the

academic syllabus: Instructor information, General course information, Course
objectives, Course policies, Grading and evaluation, Learning resources, and
the Course Calendar.[
