8. Disclaimer
Despite our best efforts to ensure that this course provides a thorough training in formulating a synopsis for a syllabus, we want to openly acknowledge that there are myriad variations in every education context. As a result of this complexity and diversity in learning environments, it could potentially result in certain material covered in the course not being applicable in every conceivable scenario.
