3		Prerequisite to introductory courses
4		Core Courses
5		Prerequisite to core courses
6		Intermediate courses - good to have, elective, 1-3 prerequisites
7		Advanced courses - focus only on those you are interested in, no need to take all - elective, several prerequisites, some are graduate level
8		Graduate courses - focus only on those you are interested in, no need to take all - elective, several multidisciplinary prerequisites

17		The original course list is here: http://blog.agupieware.com/2014/06/online-learning-intensive-bachelors.html
18		Notes: * Don’t take more than 3-4 full credit courses in 4 months span * Some courses are redundant with respect to others - taylor them :) * Intermediate and Graduate courses have a lot of prerequisites, don’t take them if you didn’t take the core classes * Note that the complexity is relative, and something hard for me might be easy for you - so coloring system is BS * Make your own schedule for the Intermediate courses - not all of them are required, focus on 2-3 disciplines * Please, report any broken links to cc.rafaz@zafar.cc - I will fix them

22		I use aliases to keep track the shortened schedule in my calendar, otherwise there is no need for it Alias deciphering for a course AAAA xyz(A/B/…) : AAAA - course discipline (MATH for math, PROG for programming, MOB for mobile, etc.) x - shows the approximate level, yz - course number (A/B/…) show the alternatives
