This page is intended to help out scope out and improve / clarify understanding of implementing cross-linking of courses in the Reserves App.
Key definitions (cribbed from https://registrar.rice.edu/facstaff/cross_list_courses)
- Cross-Listed: A course is cross-listed if it is offered under more than one course listing.
- Generally the course has the same location, meeting pattern, content, and instructor.
- The different headings may have different numbers of seats; different restrictions on enrollment (e.g., no first-years, or majors only).
- Students who enroll will enroll under a specific course listing and generally identify the course by how they are enrolled.
- Equivalent Courses: Two courses are equivalent if they are in the same department but have different course numbering.
- May be historical artifacts if a university has changed or is in the process of changing a course numbering system
- (Not sure if any of our schools use this.)
- Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalent: Usually in same department but with different course numbering, with one course being at a grad level (e.g., Math 299 / Math 599)
- Shared meeting times, instructor.
- Generally different curricular requirements for different levels - grads may have to write longer, more in-depth assignments, for example.
- Duke definitely does this.
