Visitor's Guide to Larger Lectures: Spring 2012
During your visit we invite you to attend course meetings, particularly the lectures of some of the more popular courses the Faculty offers. You should be aware, however, that the vast majority of courses open to undergraduates enroll considerably fewer students than any of those listed below.
We would be grateful if you would limit the size of your group to no more than two or three people. Please enter and leave the classroom in a manner that does not disrupt ongoing instruction. Take a seat in the back of the classroom to ensure that chairs are available to enrolled students. If an examination is under way, select another course to visit.
Please check the Registrar’s "Course Meetings Location Report" for the most up-to-date information on course locations, just in case a course happens to move locations.
