200 Details of Courses

Courses taught at the University of Alberta are listed alphabetically. Allcourses, except those taught by Faculté Saint-Jean, are described in English.

Each course is designated by its computer abbreviation and a number.Students should use this abbreviation and number when completing any formrequiring this information.

Courses are numbered according to the following system:000-099 Pre-University100-199 Basic Undergraduate. Normally requires no university-level

prerequisites. Designed typically for students in the first yearof a program.

200-299 Undergraduate. Prerequisites, if any, are normally at the 100-level. Designed typically for students in the second year ofa program.

300-399 Undergraduate. Prerequisites, if any, are normally at the 200-level. Designed typically for students in the third year of aprogram.

400-499 Advanced Undergraduate. Prerequisites, if any, are normallyat the 300-level. Designed typically for students in the fourthyear of a program.

500-599 Graduate. Designated for graduate students and certainadvanced or honors undergraduate students in their finalyear.

600-799 Graduate Courses800-899 Special Registrations900-999 Graduate Thesis and Project Numbers

For the purposes of program descriptions and prerequisite designation,courses numbered 100-199 are designated as Junior Courses and coursesnumbered 200-499 are designated as Senior Courses.

NoteNoteNoteNoteNote: SomeÊexceptions to the course number system described abovehave been granted to the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Medicine andDentistry.

Course Description Symbols and FiguresCourse Description Symbols and FiguresCourse Description Symbols and FiguresCourse Description Symbols and FiguresCourse Description Symbols and FiguresSeveral symbols and figures are used to indicate the type, duration, and

weight of courses.

(1) Œ—Indicates “units of course weight,” and usually follows the course title.The accompanying number indicates the weight of the course as used incomputing grade point averages and for meeting degree requirements.

A course which runs throughout the Fall/Winter (i.e., from Septemberthrough April) is usually weighted Œ6. A course that runs for only oneterm (i.e., Fall: from September to December, or Winter: from Januarythrough April) is usually weighted Œ3. Certain courses are offered overFall/Winter or Spring/Summer, or in one term, with weights of Œ1, Œ2,and Œ4. These are considered as one-sixth, one-third, and two-thirds ofa Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer course, respectively. Some honors andgraduate courses involving research may vary in weight according to thelength and difficulty of the project. Some clinical courses may vary inweight according to the length of clinical experience. Some courses, notincluded in the computation of grade point averages, are offered for creditonly and either carry a weight of Œ0, or are marked as “Credit.”

Undergraduate students who take courses offered by the Faculty ofEngineering but are not registered in Engineering will have a courseweight assigned for these courses according to the protocol of their homefaculty.

(2) fi—Denotes: "fee index," the value used to calculate the instructional feesfor each course. The fee index is multiplied by the fee index value (givenin the appropriate subsection of §22.2) to give the dollar value ofinstructional fees for the course.

For normal courses, the fee index is twice the value of the units of courseweight; for example, a course with Œ3 normally has fi 6. In caseswhereÊexceptional fees considerations need to be made, the fee index is setdifferently by the Board of Governors.

Note that certain programs (e.g. MD, DDS, etc.) are assessed on a programfee basis for all or certain years. In these cases, the fee index calculation doesnot apply.

(3) (((((x x x x x term, a-b-c)term, a-b-c)term, a-b-c)term, a-b-c)term, a-b-c)—These figures in parentheses give information on whenthe course is offered and the hours of instruction required by the coursein a week, or in some cases the total time in a term.

In the case of a single-term course, the term in which the course is givenis mentioned (item x). The designation “either term” means that the coursemay be offered either in the first term or in the second term or in each term,

at the discretion of the department concerned. The designation "variable"means that the course may be taught either as a single-term or as a full-session course.

Item aaaaa indicates lecture hours. Item bbbbb indicates seminar hour(s), demon-stration hours (d), clinic hours (c), or lecture-laboratory hours (L). Item cccccindicates laboratory hours. For two-term courses, the hours of instruction arethe same in both terms unless otherwise indicated. TheÊexpression 3/2 means3 hours of instruction every second week; 2s/2 means 2 seminar hours everysecond week.Examples:

(first term, 3-0-3): a course taught in first term with 3 hours lecture, noseminar, and 3 hours lab per week.

(second term, 0-1s-2): a course taught in second term with no lectures, 1seminar hour, and 2 hours of lab per week.

(either term, 3-0-0): a course taught in either first or second term, or eachterm, with 3 lecture hours per week, no seminar, and no lab.

(two-term, 3-0-3): a course taught over both first and second term withthree lecture hours, no seminar, and three hours lab per week.

(variable, 3-0-0): a course which may be taught in either first or secondterm or over two terms with three lecture hours per week, no seminar, andno lab.

Students are strongly advised to refer to the Registration Proceduresmanual for details. Two-term courses are normally offered over two terms(either Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer). In a few instances, two-term coursesare offered within a single term. In all cases these are identifiable in theTimetable Listing because they consist of part A and part B (e.g., English 101Aand 101B).

To successfully register in a two-term course, students, must do thefollowing:

• register in both the part A and part B for all types of sections offered(Lectures, Labs, Seminars, etc.);

• register in the same section numbers for part A and part B of a course(e.g. Lecture A1 for both part A and part B, and Lab E3 for both part Aand part B);

• register in all the appropriate sections on the same day.

All of the above must be done or the course registration is invalid andwill be deleted. Invalid registrations will be deleted nightly. It is the student’sresponsibility to attempt the course registration again, subject to availability.

Example: A student wishes to register in ABCD 101, a two-term course.It has a lecture and a lab section. Based on the student’s timetable planning,decides to take Lecture C3 and Lab C8. The student must add

In Fall Term ABCD 101A Lec C3 and ABCD 101A Lab C8,andIn Winter Term ABCD 101B Lec C3 and ABCD 101B Lab C8.

All these sections must be added on the same day to successfully register.Otherwise the registration in ABCD 101 will be deleted overnight and thestudent’s place in the course will be lost.
