course outline

Semester's study plan

A course outline is a document summarizing what a class or training program will cover—typically listing topics, objectives, readings, and assignments in sequence.

It gives students a roadmap of the material before instruction begins: The professor handed out a course outline on the first day.

Synonymous with syllabus in many contexts, though syllabus often includes more administrative details like grading policies.
