Offerings
Overview
This is a GitHub Pages template based on Just the Class, developed for the purpose of quickly deploying course overview websites. Such websites link to previous course offerings, provide a summary of what the course is about, and may list learning goals and prerequisites. This overview section would normally be replaced by the description of a specific course, and could include information from the Berkeley Academic Guide.
