AMES503S is a shell course name we use for paired graduate level sessions for undergraduate courses.
Important message from our DGS: now we are able to offer more true graduate-level courses; we would like to reserve the undergraduate-graduate cross-over option for upper-level undergraduate courses (i.e., ones that are offered at the 300-400 level), in order to minimize the perceived gap between the undergraduate and graduate components of the course. (This rule does not apply to language courses).
Please follow the instructions below to submit an AMES 503S request:
Go to this webpage:
https://courserequest.trinity.duke.edu/duke/main/trinity/advanced
Click 'Special Topics' and select 'AMES 503S' (click the Course ID: 022413). Then fill out the course information.
For a graduate level course, in the box of 'Remarks,' please specify what extra requirements you have for your graduate students, which should include additional reading materials, extra meetings and more homework assignments.
Please look at the example below:

Please note it in your course request that this is a paired graduate session for an undergraduate course AMESXXX.
For cross-listing codes already existing in your undergraduate course, if you want to add them to your graduate session, please remember to request them in this new request.
