<p>Just looking through the course schedules and i saw some weird course numbers, like "B A 324H" for example. Are these classes any different than regular classes?</p>
<p>The naming conventions are : Department, Number, and sometimes followed by a letter. The first number is the number of hours, and the 2 numbers are basically course identifiers. Our naming convention is definitely different than most colleges. You will see a last letter for classes with more than one part. Like 408 K and 408 L are 2 parts of calculus(differential and integral), and 303k and 303l are 2 parts of physics(mechanics and E&M).</p>
<p>The H means it is an honors section of the class. Many classes can be taken at either the regular level or with an H appended to say it is an honors level class.</p>
<p>As noted, the letters in front are the abbreviation for the name of the department that the class is in, and the first number is the number of credit hours for this class.
The second number is low for intro courses and higher for upper class or graduate level courses.
The third number is an identifier. It separates the different 30x level or 40x level classes offered in one department, for example. (Freshmen are likely to find many of their classes are 30x classes; 3 because they are three credits and 0 because it is the lowest level, or introductory level, course.)</p>
<p>Definitely not what you usually see!</p>
<p>ABC1001 is not a convention I’ve seen at many colleges ever.</p>
<p>There is the Texas Common Course Number thing, but that’s mostly for community colleges.</p>
<p>Typically something like 301 would be a first-year intro course, but you get random things like 316K as well which is also an intro course in a certain department.</p>
<p>UT Arlington operates on the ABC1001</p>
<p>HIST 1311 and 1312 are US History classes
PHYS 1445 and 1446 are Astronomy classes</p>
<p>Univeristy of Houston also operates on the ABC1001 system, too.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure most publics in Texas, with UT being a notable exception, go by the ABC1001 system.</p>
