Notes

Note #1: Offered in FA 2015 only.

Note #2: Offered in SP 2015 only.
Note #3: Lecture and lab sections are paired as shown.
Note #4: One lecture section is paired with more than one lab section as shown.
Note #5: CIT 480/L is offered in FA 2015, CIT 481/L is offered in SP 2016. Teaching assignments are made by semester, but this is a
two-semester sequence of coordinated courses. Anyone accepting the teaching assignment for CIT 480/L in the fall will be expected to
also accept the follow-on assignment for CIT 481/L in the spring. The department will make every effort to schedule the spring sections
on the same days and times as the fall sections.
Note #6: COMP 490/L (lecture and lab) is offered in FA 2015, COMP 491L (lab only) is offered in SP 2016. Teaching assignments are
made by semester, but this is a two-semester sequence of coordinated courses. Anyone accepting the teaching assignment for COMP
490/L in the fall will be expected to also accept the follow-on assignment for COMP 491L in the spring. The department will make every
effort to schedule the spring sections on the same days and times as the fall sections.
