Course Information

This section should include:

course title
year and semester
course number and section
number of credits or units
class times
class locations
prerequisites
placement exam information

Refer to the latest school bulletin and schedule to make sure that all your information is current and correct. Do not make any changes to official course information as it will confuse students, confuse you, and is unprofessional. Classes may meet in two different locations for lecture or lab, so specify the dates and times your class meets. Note any prerequisites: this will alert students who have registered without this knowledge. If your course is full with qualified students waiting to add the class, you may drop unqualified students. Discuss this process with your department chair or office manager before your first class.

Example from Dr. Jane DeWitt:

Chemistry 115 Concepts of Chemistry

Sections 1-6 Spring 2001
MWF 9:10 - 10 am, Sci 101

Course Prerequisites:

550 or above on ELM or approved exemption, or C in Math 70 and satisfactory score on chemistry placement exam, or a CR in Chem 100 in F99 or S00.

Chemistry Placement Exam:

The placement exam is administered during the laboratory on Wednesday, January 31st and February 1st. ALL students must attend a lab section on one of those two days and take the placement exam. There are NO EXCEPTIONS. Students who received a grade of CR in Chem 100 in Fall 00 and Spring 00 must take the exam to hold their place in class, but their score on the exam will not be used to determine placement. There are no course substitutes for Chem 100 at any other university or community college. Students enrolled in Chem 111 in previous semesters must take the placement exam again. Results will be posted in the bulletin board next to Sci 102. While waiting for results of the placement exam, attend lab because missed lab work can not be made up.
