Class Descriptions
The first digit of each class number indicates year, or level, of class. Except for 1000-level classes, the second digit denotes the sub-field within which the class is listed.
No student may take more than one first-year class but some second-year classes require no prerequisite. The prerequisites listed with each class are intended to show the sort of preparation the instructor anticipates. A student will usually take one second-year class in a field before taking a 3000-level class in the same field. Students without the appropriate 2000-level class may obtain admission to 3000-level classes only with special permission of the instructors of those classes.
Classes marked * are not offered every year. For final listings for 2009/10, see the 2009/10 timetable.
