Notes: (1) Students electing an Honours Programme or a Major in Political Science, or an Honours Programme in such related subjects as History, Economics, Sociology or Psychology are encouraged to register in Political Science 110 in their first year. Other students are encouraged to register in Political Science 100. Either of these courses will serve as a prerequisite for senior courses in Political Science.
(2) Courses designated “Full course, half year” are comparable to a normal year course in their content. They are, however, offered, on a more concentrated basis. during one term only. In drawing up a programme a student would regard such a course as two courses during the term in which it is offered and would combine it with another such course, or two half-courses during the remaining term. The advantage of such a combination of courses is that it allows a more concentrated study of a more limited number of subjects at any giver time.
(3) The number of hours or lectures shown after the course description is an attempt to indicate the “normal”; each instructor determines how often his particular class will meet.
