                Rationale for Course Numbering

                3 items
                1. The first-year language courses are assigned numbers 101 (First semester of Elementary Arabic) and 102 (Second semester of Elementary Arabic); The second year Arabic courses are numbered 201 (First semester of Intermediate Arabic) and 202 (Second semester of Intermediate Arabic); The third year Arabic courses are at the 300 level and the courses are assigned different numbers to differentiate the content courses. Currently there are no 400 level Arabic courses.
                  Not resolved to a course
                2. Independent Studies for second year Arabic are numbered 295 and 296 and Independent Studies for third year Arabic are numbered 395 and 396.
                  Not resolved to a course
                3. For third year language courses, a higher value does not indicate a more advanced course. These different numbers are intended to distinguish the subject matter of each course rather than the level of difficulty.
