Catalog pages now list when course was offered

The catalog pages now indicate which semesters each course was offered. That listing goes back to Fall 2009, when the course numbering system changed from 3 digits to 4 digits.

Summer and Fall 2012 Information Posted

Now that Summer and Fall 2012 information are available on SIS, I have activated them on Lou’s List as well. Enrollments will update approximately ever hour and section details will update once a day.

Click Class or Section to See More Info

When you are looking at a list of classes on Lou’s List, you can:

  • click on a class title to see a description of that class
  • click on a section entry to see more information about that section.

Instructors: you can edit the non-SIS section information on Lou’s List. Just click on the section entry for your class and follow the link at the bottom of the popup. It will give you access to the editor for your class information.

Engineering & Applied Sciences Departments

In response to a request from Kevin, I have split out the SEAS departments and given them each a separate page.

New Server for Lou’s List

I just updated the server that hosts Lou’s List. You shouldn’t notice the change unless I’ve made a mistake somewhere. Please let me know if you discover that something is broken.

Summer and Fall 2011 Classes are Up!

With another preregistration period starting in a few weeks, SIS has just released the classes for Summer and Fall 2011. I’ve updated my system for the new semesters and started downloading the data from SIS. Summer 2011 is complete and Fall 2011 should be done by about noon.

January and Spring 2011 Classes are Up!

I built the January and Spring 2011 class schedules over the weekend and they’ll be kept up-to-date automatically from now until well into those semesters.

Recognizing that a class with dozens of sections can make a schedule difficult to read, I added the ability to collapse the sections for any class. Just click on theĀ  to collapse a class and click on theĀ  to expand it. Some of the independent study classes are pre-shrunk by default. If you think that I should pre-shrink or un-pre-shrink a particular class, please let me know.

If you have other suggestions for how to improve Lou’s List, I’m happy to hear them. As long as they’re widely helpful and relatively easy to implement, I’ll try to add them.

Welcome to Lou’s List

Lou’s List is a web site that presents University of Virginia course information in an easy-to-read, easy-to-access format. Most of this information is mined every four hours from the official SIS, although combined course information is obtained once each night.

The goal of this web site is to help students and faculty realize the best educational experience possible. I hope that you will find it useful and would appreciate your comments.
