Thank you very very much for your answer but I'm afraid I don't get the answer properly. Do you mean that the way I wrote my sentences is completely wrong? Learning outcomes are acctually printed in an entire page [in a book] soon after the introduction page. You know it very well. Don't you? Would that, then, be ok to write only one or two lines in an entire page? Well, why I got confused is that someone told me to start each sentence (in the list) with capital letter and put semicolon at the end of each sentence except for the last one. We have to put full stop at the end of the last sentence just because the statement ( or you may call it description) is now complete.
Looking forward to your answer
Best regards!
Dawood
