A respected teacher once asked, "how many of you actually read your syllabuses before?" The class was quiet. A few students raised their right hands hesitantly. About 20% of them have read their syllabuses.
"Now, let's take a look at your syllabus. There is a point-by-point explanation of what you are supposed to know. Which facts to remember, what diagrams to draw, why certain reactions take place. Do you all see why it is important for you to read the syllabuses? People who read them know what may be tested. As a result, they are better prepared for their exams and, in general, do better."
We should learn because we are interested in learning. However, there are school exams calibrated to test our understanding and to do well for them requires strategizing, like playing football games. We need action plans to help us do well, in this as well as in other endeavors.
As such, every student is highly encouraged to download and print the syllabuses for their personal references.
Read through them, know what will be tested. Before major examinations, use them as checklists. Tick against points that you're confident of scoring in. Highlight areas that you need to work on and revise these topics. Study smartly!
All the best for every exam and beyond :]
