This is a database of physics courses being offered at McGill. This was created and then duplicated, and a copy exists in the website. They are not linked, so changes to this database do not affect the website version.
Pages dedicates to researchers in the 'Slide Deck' database are linked to courses in this database (see the far-right column of this database, or return to the main documentation page to find the slide deck database). Again, this does not affect the way researchers are linked to courses in the actual website, as the 'Slide deck' database is also independent.
This database includes much more information about each course compared to the version of this database in the website, because this one is purely for reference use of the person maintaining the website. Some course syllabi have been added for additional information, but they will quickly become outdated. They are simply to offer a glimpse of the type of content being taught. Instructors will also quickly become outdated.
