SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The field FIRST COURSE RECORD IND should be used in combination with other fields to do course counts.
For example, this field could be selected with BREADTH VALUE to answer the following question: How many natural science courses are being offered this semester?
Some sections will have multiple records if they take place at more than one time, take place in more than one location, meet in nonconsecutive weeks, or have more than one instructor.
The field FIRST SECTION RECORD IND will be used in combination with other fields to do section counts. For example, it could be selected along with COMPONENT TYPE to determine how many field
sections are being taught. If this indicator is not used in your selection criteria, you could get duplicate counts due to the possibility multiple records per section.
The fields BEGIN TIME and END TIME should only be used for display purposes, not in selection criteria. The fields BEGIN TIME-24HR and END TIME 24HR should be used for selection.
