Depends on what book you use. You'll definitely learn ひらがな and かたかな, adjectives, verbs and very basic sentence structure. I did the same thing, jumping into Japanese 102 last year and not taking Japanese 101, but I'd been studying by myself on and off for a few years. I say 'check what book' because if you can find someone with the book and ask the teacher where they plan to be second semester, you can know how much you've missed and prepare appropriately.
