I also do a syllabus in LyX...I'll share what I do, maybe it will help.

Other LyX wizards might disagree with my choice, but I use the LyX article
class, and I like the result.

This might not be exactly what you're after, but I make each class a
subsubsection. Underneath that, I use an itemize for the "read this or you
die bit." If you're interested, I'd be glad to send along a copy of my
syllabus if you'd like to see how I've done it...just let me know.
Good luck!
