Syllabus

A syllabus (pl. syllabuses or syllabi) is an outline and summary of topics to be covered in an education or training course.

A syllabus is descriptive -- unlike a curriculum, which is prescriptive.

A syllabus may be set out by an exam board or prepared by the professor who supervises or controls course quality.

It may be provided in paper form or online.
