Dan,

Is there a short description of the new courses added? Something like a list of topics covered would be very helpful.

I think that would think that would be quite helpful - especially for the new electives.

 

[dstefan]

Syllabi will be available in early August.

Dan, is 9867 now split in 2 courses (9887 and 9888)? is each 3 credits?

 

[dstefan]

Indeed, we will split 9867 in two courses: 9887 (first seven weeks of the Spring semester) and 9888 (last seven weeks of the Spring semester), each of 1.5 credits.
