A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted (if different from the options outlined above):

Each course offering per semester was counted as an individual course but each course section was not. For example, if BIO 101 is offered in three sections in the fall and three sections in the spring semester, we would count only two courses for BIO 101: one in the fall and one in the spring. We would not count all three individual sections from each semester.
