I am trying to aviod the *.ncsu.edu domains as much as possible. I am curious as to if you can easily add the number of credit hours a course is worth. I was looking at a course and had no idea if it were 0 hours, 1 or 3.

Thanks.

hmm... we parse the course catalog to get that info. i still can't figure out their convention for the listing. for example:

3(2-3-0) F

i figure the first 3 is for the hours and the F says it is only offered fall, but what is the other stuff for? and what the hell is this:

NULL F, S, Sum

or this:

1-4 F, S, Sum

its hard to get the parser to deal with stuff I can't even make sense of myself

Is there a way to update the upcoming course information? For example, two classes on my Fall 2002 schedule have new teachers, so the ones listed on school tool are out of date.

3 Credit Hours, (2 "hours" lecture, 3 "hours" lab, 0 "hours" problem session) Fall

Quote :

"NULL F, S, Sum"

Haven't seen NULL before, but have seen 0 for zero credit classes

Quote :

"1-4 F, S, Sum"

Course can be worth 1-4 Credit Hours, as set up by student and faculty. (no (#-#-#) because of variablity)

I'm not 100% sure about everything, but that is consistant with my department, CHE.
