Which of the following options is the definition of the perfect syllabus used by Kearsley and Lynch (1996):
A syllabus design concerns the selection of items to be learnt and the grading of those items into an appropriate sequence; learnability, coverage, usefulness and frequency play an important role on a syllabus.
A syllabus outlines the goals and objectives of a course, prerequisites, the grading, materials to be used, topics to be covered, a schedule, and a bibliography. Goals and objectives identify the expected outcomes and scope of the course as determined by the course designer.
