ANNOUNCEMENT OF COURSES OF INSTRUCTION PRIMARILY FOR STUDENTS IN THE DEPARTMENTS AT BERKELEY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS 1924 EXPLANATORY NOTE CLASSIFICATION OF COURSES I. UNDERGRADUATE COURses. 1. Lower Division Courses. 2. Upper Division Courses. An upper division course is an advanced course in a department of study that has been pursued in the lower division, or of elementary work in a subject of such difficulty as to require the maturity of upper division students. All upper division courses are definitely announced as such, and are given the numbers 100-199, as is explained below. II. GRADUATE COURSES. For a statement concerning the facilities for graduate study and for further information concerning higher degrees refer to the Announcement of the Graduate Division, sent by the University of California Press on request. As a condition for enrollment in a graduate course the student must submit to the instructor in charge of the course satisfactory evidence of preparation for the work proposed; adequate preparation will consist normally of the completion of at least twelve units of upper division work basic to the subject of the graduate course, irrespective of the department in which such basic work may have been completed. The admission of undergraduates to graduate courses is limited to seniors who have an average grade of at least B in the basic courses; the study-lists limits in such cases are the limits imposed by the rules of the Graduate Division. NUMBERING OF COURSES Excepting only the upper division courses, all undergraduate courses are numbered from 1 to 99, inclusive. Undergraduate upper division courses are numbered from 100 to 199, inclusive. Graduate courses are numbered from 200 to 299, inclusive. Teachers' courses. In general, a number in the 300 series designates a course of interest to prospective teachers. In the Department of Education, however, the use of this number is restricted to professional methods courses. The abbreviation "Ed." is used in connection with the number 300 (e.g., Mathematics 300 Ed.) for certain courses in departments other than Education to show that the courses in question will be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirement of twenty-one units in education established by the State Board of Education for the State High School Teachers' Credential. For information concerning teacher-training curricula see the Bulletin of the School of Education. Year courses; double numbers. A course designated by a double number (for example, History 4A-4B) is continued through two successive half-years, that is, from August to May, or from January to December. The student will use the first number in registering for the course during its first half-year, and the second number during its second half-year. A final report will be made by the instructor at the end of each half-year. The student may discontinue the course at the end of the first half-year, with final credit for the first half of the course, except as otherwise noted. ABBREVIATIONS The credit value of each course in semester units is indicated for each semester by a numeral in parenthesis following the title. A semester unit is one hour of the student's time at the University, weekly, during one half-year, in lecture or recitation, together with the time necessary in preparation therefor; or a longer time in laboratory or other exercises not requiring preparation. The session during which the course is given is shown as follows: I, first half-year; II, second half-year; "Yr,” throughout the year. When no hours are stated it is understood that these are to be arranged later. Final information concerning class hours will be found in the SCHEDULE AND DIRECTORY. |
