Certain courses must be completed before other courses may be taken. Develop a network diagram in which every activity is a particular course that you must take for your degree program.
The immediate predecessors will be course prerequisites. Don't forget to include all university, college, and departmental course requirements.
Then try to group these courses into semesters or quarters for your particular school.
A. How long do you think it will take you to graduate?
B. Which courses, if not taken in the proper sequence, could delay your graduation?
