SECTION 16 :: UNDERGRADUATE COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Each course description is followed by a list of the credit hours (cr) and contact hours for the course.
Contact hours are divided into lecture (lec), laboratory (lab), tutorial (tut) and other (oth) hours. A course
with a listing of 3 cr, 3 lec, 3 lab, 1 tut, 2 oth, is weighted at three credit hours with three hours of lectures,
three laboratory hours, one hour of tutorial and two other contact hours per week.
Courses offered in condensed format will have the number of contact hours prorated accordingly.
Other notations in the course descriptions:
A cross-listed course is a single course that is listed under two or more faculties and identified by different
course numbers. The course can be taken for credit from one faculty only.
A credit restriction occurs where two or more courses are closely related and credit is limited to one of the
courses.
