The syllabus plays an important role in the students’ learning experiences. It is a summary outline of a specific course of an educational program. Different assessment tools are also cited in a syllabus, one example is the major examination.

This result of this study ascertained that analyzing the results of departmentalized examination for a specific course could be a basis for syllabus enhancement to improve the learning experience of students.
