Yes, “Lou’s List” is the easiest to use. Lou’s List also can be used to see what courses were offered in Spring of 2011 - often the same courses are offered each Spring. You can toggle the semester towards the top to switch back and forth between each semester.

Most of the larger classes do have smaller lab or discussion classes in addition to lecture sessions. I don’t know anything about computer science classes.

If you hold the cursar over the title of the class on Lou’s list, a description of the course will pop up.

If you or a friend have a UVa email address, you can join [url=http://www.thecourseforum.com]theCourseForum[/url]
That includes student reviews of UVa courses and professors. It is often better to pick the course for the professor than for the title.

You will also usually find additional information on courses and recommended sequences on the websites of individual UVa academic departments.
