Scope and sequence

What does "Scope and sequence" mean with regard to a study course? Would it be correct to say that it means the areas/topics covered (scope) and the order in which they are taught (sequence)? Or is it a technical phrase (synonym)used to denote syllabus? Thanks, Ching

  • Though a syllabus is technically an outline or other brief statement of the main points of a discourse, the subjects of a course of lectures, the contents of a curriculum, etc.
  • Almost but not quite the same thing.

"Scope" refers to the entire range of subjects or topics covered by a study course, while "sequence" refers to the order often chronological by which those subjects or topic are to be taken. That's all.
