A complex chart consisting of dates, page numbers, topics, etc. that math and science teachers enjoy making you do. Your teacher will harp at you to write down the table of contents every day and threaten your grade if you don't. It is intended to be useful, but for the most part, it's not.
Teacher, glaring at your paper: Have you done the table of contents for today?
You: N-n-no?
Teacher: *eyebrows raise* You have to do the table of contents every day! Minus 10 classwork points.
