<p>Hello,</p>
<p>We've been digging around on the net and cannot locate which quarter a couple of courses are offered at UCI.</p>
<p>These courses are Ling 170 & 172 / CompSci 152 & 162</p>
<p>If you have any links you would be willing to share we would greatly appreciate it.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Normally when I am searching for when a class is offered, I take a look at the general catalogue.</p>
<p>[2010-11</a> General Catalogue Table of Contents](<a href=“UCI General Catalogue Archives”>UCI General Catalogue Archives)</p>
<p>You look under what school it’s under first and then maybe the department it’s under, and finally search for the course. Next to each course it will usually say when it is offered (Fall = F, Spring = S, Winter = W) and then a short description of what the class will focus on.</p>
<p>You can get historical information by going to the online Schedule of Classes from the Zot Scheduler – [Zot</a> Scheduler - a online class scheduling program for UCI students](<a href=“http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~mlyang/scheduler/]Zot”>Zot Scheduler - a online class scheduling program for UCI students). Use the pull down for the term, and check prior falls, winters, and springs. Having said that, my kid looked up all of the information from both the online scheduler and catalogue, and based schedules for the last 3 years around it, only to find significant changes, particularly in CS and Ling. By significant, I mean that even though the Catalogue shows that a course is offered all quarters there are some quarters that it was not offered, and it’s gotten worse since the “budget crisis.” An example I recall is CS 151, which historically was offered throughout the year, but not last spring. Our notes show that CS 152 is a spring class, as well as a summer class, and CS 162 is a fall class, but that’s not information something you can really rely on. The ling classes aren’t on the chart because at this point, the kid takes whatever doesn’t conflict in terms of time, regardless of desire. Thanks, UCI, for stomping out the joy of learning by making it virtually impossible to take more than a few required classes each quarter without required courses being offered only once and in conflict with the time of other required courses, prerequisites not being offered and/or honored and/or misunderstood by professors…But, best of luck and sorry I’m not enthusiastic; it’s going on the fourth year of registration nightmares for the kid, and that’s with CHP early registration.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input - I already tried both of the above suggestions and found that many of the classes listed in the catalog do not list a semester offered. The zot schedule has brought the most information but like “Fred’s Mom” said many classes haven’t been listed. My fear was that they were not being offered, even though they are listed in the catalog - much as “Fred’s Mom” has confirmed. I guess we’ll just have to go into this with high hopes and roll with the punches. Once again, thanks for the input.</p>
<p>I just looked on websoc, which is what zotscheduler takes the schedule from, and compsci 152 was offered in the spring '10 and one of the summer sessions… be sure to look at it by quarter, and not semester. </p>
<p>but, generally the department websites list tentative schedules on when courses will be offered

for CompSci 152 will supposedly be in the winter same with 162</p>
<p>Awesome! Thank you for the lead.</p>
<p>Moey - what do the numbers in parens mean? Is that the number of seats? Thanks.</p>
<p>i believe it is the number of seats/max student enrollment but it’s not always accurate if you compare with the numbers for fall on there and the actual max on websoc</p>
<p>Moey, Thanks so much for the link. It at least gives some indication…now we’ll see if the kid can timely graduate :)</p>
