Minicourses for Fall Term 1999

A mini-course is a one-credit course not associated with any other course (i.e., a one-credit lab is not a minicourse) that either meets for part of the term, or one hour a week for the entire term.

Two-credit short courses occasionally are offered, meeting for only part of the term.

If the course meets for only part of the term, the meeting dates are indicated in the Section Title of the course.
