1 Course Descriptions CSN 2016-2017 GENERAL CATALOG & STUDENT HANDBOOK 323 Course Descriptions The following Course Descriptions are intended to briefly describe the nature of each of the courses. For more complete information, departments or faculty can provide specific Course syllabuses. The numbers in the right side of each description define the credits and average weekly contact hours the student will spend in formal classes during a 16 week semester. Classes scheduled for other than a 16 week semester will have the contact hours adjusted accordingly.

2 A defines the number of semester credits B average number of lecture hours per week C average number of laboratory hours per week D average number of clinical hours per week E average number of other formal instructional hours per week In addition to these hours, students are expected to complete homework assignments on their own time. These assignments may include library research, computer utilization, field trips, cultural performances, and other instructional activities.
