Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The numbers in Part 1 reflect the total section offerings, so each section of each course is counted as an individual course. Due to the way courses are tracked in our system, we were unable to split individual courses into Regular and Continuing Education, so we had to pull the total number of sections offered for each course and split that into Regular and Continuing Education. This means that courses that have multiple offerings are counted multiple times.
