A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :
Keyword searches were done using Wesleyan's course-selection software, WesMaps. See keywords tab in inventory for keywords used. Uncertain courses were compared to Wesleyan's draft definition of sustainability (not yet formally approved) and were confirmed with individual faculty members whenever possible.
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted (if different from the options outlined above):
For undergraduate and graduate courses, each course was counted as a single course regardless of number of sections or offerings; all are listed as undergrad courses.
For Graduate Liberal Studies (GLS) courses, each offering was counted as a single course (relied on departmental reporting to determine which courses did/didn't qualify); all are listed as graduate courses. Courses that were cross-listed between different departments were only counted once per semester taught.
