A syllabus is a document listing the topics that will be covered in class, the course policies, the grading rubric, reading/assignment deadlines, and information on any midterms or exams. It is normally provided by professors on the first day of class. Read the syllabus in its entirety, and don't be afraid to ask questions about it. The syllabus often reflects a professor's teaching/grading style, preferences, and course deadlines you are responsible for tracking. Read it carefully and note any important details, as you may not receive additional reminders!
