Registration
A registration form can be found on the website menu, or may be obtained by contacting the ICS office. Advance registration is encouraged so the student can download the class syllabus prior to the class. Students taking the course for credit will be expected to come to class prepared to participate in the class discussion, and to submit a written assignment. Students auditing the class may find it helpful to have read the recommended reading assignment.
