LSA Course Guide

The online LSA Course Guide contains course descriptions written by instructors of classes to be offered in a specific term. Instructors are asked:

• to begin with a statement of the subjects (topics, themes, methods).
• to include the intended audience and any recommended special background that is not already listed in course prerequisites.
• to indicate the basis of student evaluation (exams, papers, etc.)
• to state method(s) of instruction (lecture, lab, discussion).
• to mention texts which will be required.
