LLAIC Course Schedule - Fall 2020
All courses will be conducted with Zoom video-conferencing. We urge you to read the course description carefully before
choosing a course.
5-week Courses: Note that there are several 5-week courses given
in the first and second half of the semester (designated by 5a and 5b,
respectively, in the course code).
6-week, 7-week and 8-week courses: There are also a number of these courses. Most but not all start at the beginning of the semester.
Two-class-period courses count as one (there are none this semester): Courses that extend over 2 class periods (such as a film course), count as one course. The fee is 50% greater than for a single class period course.
