Locating Courses

• Course descriptions should be regularly updated in order to keep up with ongoing revision and refocusing. Titles of courses, too, should be more engaging and keywords should facilitate searches. Include the phrase “no pre-req” to further assist students seeking courses outside, or complementary to, their own disciplines; revise at least 50 percent of these online within the next 18 months and update the 2010–2011 Bulletin.
• Courses with changing content using an omnibus title —“Selected Topics” or “Studies in …,” etc.—should link to a description of the precise offering for that semester.
• Both the disciplinary and cross-disciplinary aspects of a course should be reflected in the description through the periodic but regular addition or deletion of keywords when necessary.
