A syllabus is a document that outlines the course content, objectives, and requirements for a particular class or program. It typically includes information about the instructor, textbooks, assignments, exams, grading policies, attendance expectations, and other important details to help students understand what they will be learning and how they will be evaluated in the course. The syllabus serves as a roadmap for the entire term or semester, providing guidance and structure for both instructors and learners.
