5.6. CSci 4xxx and 5xxx Electives

The computer graphics (CSci 4107/5107), Internet programming (4131/5131), data communication and networks (4211/5211), AI I (4511W/5511), and databases (4707/5707) classes have a 4xxx and 5xxx version. The purpose of this is to allow tailoring of the course to the primary audiences (undergraduate students for the 4xxx version, graduate students for the 5xxx). There is enough overlap between the two versions that students will not be able to get credit for both.

Who should take which version of the courses?

• CS and CompE *grad* students should take the 5xxx version; they will not receive graduate credit for the 4xxx versions.
• Graduate students from other programs should check with their programs and see which version will be acceptable.
• Most undergraduates should take the 4xxx version. The two exceptions to this are (i) undergraduates may take the 5107 graphics course if they have a strong interest in graphics (particularly if they plan to take the 5108 graphics II class). (ii) Very skilled or interested undergraduates may take 5131, 5211, 5511, or 5707 with instructor permission.
• Students who register for the 5xxx versions should ensure they have the necessary prerequisite knowledge. The expectation is that students in these classes will be better prepared than students in the 4xxx class, as the 5xxx classes will cover more material and require slightly more work.
