Revision as of 14:08, 4 May 2007

I think a lot of these courses are far better known by their long names, like Frontiers of Science or Principles of Econ. The current list is a meaningless pile of numbers to me. Only math & science courses seem to use the course number shorthand, and I think WikiCU should reflect campus practice as far as this goes. Pacman 14:45, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

I agree with Pacman. I prefer "Course Title (Bulletin Code)" as the main article title and then if it has alternate titles, we can redirect to the main article. We can also make redirect pages for "ECON W1105" to go directly to "Principles of Economics (ECON W1105)". Also, stellar work on getting in all these course outlines, Reaganaut.

There's only occasionally a problem with conflicting names, though, whereas most of these course codes are completely obscure and unknown to the general student body. I agree with Nonsensical's proposal. Pacman 15:08, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
