While presenting the syllabus, I use it as an opportunity for my students to practice how to calculate percentages, which is a calculation they need to be using in several courses in the program (and in their life!). They can calculate the maximun number of missing classes they can have to prevent failing the course, they also understand how important -in terms of gades- is to get the homeworks on time and perfectly done, and other things. This makes the presentation active and promote engagement, and also improve their understanding on how to be successful in the course.
