Finding specific credit hour courses at TESU

[scorpion]

I recently had to search for some TESU courses that had very specific credit hours / semester hours, in order to get everything to add up correctly. There are some older threads like this which have people manually checking each course to add them up. I figured I'd share the way I used to find all of these from TESU's online catalog listing by using some Google-fu.

Right now, if you search for a TESU course, the individual course pages are hosted on the "www2.tesu.edu" domain


Every course will have a credit listing at the bottom of the course summary page:


You can create a Google query that will filter to only the courses you need:

• First, filter to the course listing domain:
  
  
  Code:

  site:www2.tesu.edu
  
  
• Then, filter exactly by the credit hours you'd like to find:
  
  
  Code:

  "Credits: 6"
  
  
• (Optional) Restrict by course prefix:
  
  
  Code:

  (inurl:MAT OR inurl:COS OR inurl:CIS OR inurl:PSY)
  
  
• Here's what it looks like put together. A query to find all four-credit courses in math, computer science, computer information systems, or psychology:
  
  
  Code:

  site:www2.tesu.edu (inurl:MAT OR inurl:COS OR inurl:CIS OR inurl:PSY) "Credits: 4"
  
  
• (Alternate) If you'd like to find syllabi instead, use this alternate form of the query with the credit number written out:
  
  
  Code:

  site:www2.tesu.edu inurl:/syllabus/current/ (inurl:MAT OR inurl:COS OR inurl:CIS OR inurl:PSY) "four credit"
  
  

Here's some example queries to get you started:

1-credit
All 1-credit courses
Syllabi of all 1-credit courses

2-credit
All 2-credit courses
Syllabi of all 2-credit courses

4-credit
All 4-credit courses
Syllabi of all 4-credit courses

6-credit
All 6-credit courses
Syllabi of all 6-credit courses
