A syllabus may include several other items that add to or clarify the objective, content, or standards. A lesson may specify the  recommended class time, reference or study materials, recommended sequence of training, and study assignment for the next lesson.  Both ground and flight lessons may have explanatory information notes added to specific lessons.  [Figure 7-4]  While a syllabus is designed to provide a road map showing how to accomplish the overall objective of a course of training, it may be  useful for other purposes. As already mentioned, it can be used as a checklist to ensure that required training has successfully been  completed. Thus, a syllabus can be an effective tool for recordkeeping. Enhanced syllabi, which also are designed for recordkeeping,  can be very beneficial to the independent instructor.  This recordkeeping function is usually facilitated by boxes or blank spaces adjacent to the knowledge areas, procedures, or  maneuvers in a lesson. Most syllabi introduce each procedure or maneuver in one lesson and review them in subsequent lessons.  Some syllabi also include provisions for grading learner performance and recording both ground and flight training time. Accurate  recordkeeping is necessary to keep both the learner and the instructor informed on the status of training. These records also serve as a  basis for endorsements and recommendations for knowledge and practical tests. Some training syllabi or records may include coded  numbers or letters for other instructors to record their evaluation of a learner’s progress and knowledge or skill level.$_{ }$ [Figure 7-5]  Figure 7-4.  Information in the form of notes may be added to individual ground or flight lessons in a syllabus when they are  necessary.  7-6
