The numbered study subtopics are editorial elaborations for teaching and study, rather than a separately issued TU syllabus. Unit or component allocations apply at their stated level; no separate topic hours or marks are assigned here. Reading activities refer to the prescribed text in the assigned edition; interpretations must be supported by that text. Printed titles are retained from the curriculum.
