Explanation of Course Numbering System
CREDIT MEASUREMENT
The unit of measurement for credit purposes is the semester hour. A
semester hour entails one hour of recitation and/or lectwe (or the equiva-
lent in shop or laboratory work) per week for one semester of eighteen
weeks, unless otherwise specified in the course description. For each class-
room hour two hours of preparation are expected. Three hours of shop or
laboratory work are counted as equivalent to one classroom hour and the
preparation for it. Unless otherwise stated in the course description, it can
be assumed that a course will meet for one hour of recitation-lecture per
week for each semester hour of credit.
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Courses are designated by four digit numbers. The first number indicates
semester hour value of the course, the second number indicates level of
the course: all courses with a second number of I are freshman courses,
all courses with a second number of 2 are sophomore courses, all courses
with a second number of 3 are junior courses, all courses with a second
number of 4 are senior courses, and all courses with a second number of
5 are graduate courses. Any course with a second number of 3 or 4 may
be counted as upper division work.
TWO SEMESTER COURSES
Courses requiring two semesters for completion are designated in the
course description by a hyphen. For example, English 3101-02. In such
cases no credit will be given until both semesters of the course have been
completed. When any cowse requires two semesters for completion, the
first semester is prerequisite for enrolling in the second semester.
COURSE FEES
Laboratory and other special fees for individual courses are indicated
on a per-semester basis in parentheses following course titles:
GEOLOGY
3210 Principles of Geomorphology ($2)
BIOLOGY
3101-02 Anatomy and Physiology ($2-$2)
