What do the different Web designations mean?
When you look at the course schedule, many courses may have a web tag associated with them (i.e., Web-30, Web-50, Web-80, or Web-100).  The word "Web" means that the course has an online (web) component, the number (30, 50, etc.) denotes the amount of work done via the web.  Specifically,

• Web-30 means that the course is primarily face-to-face (F2F), but there may be a few alternative class sessions where you do web assignments online instead of meeting F2F.  You may also be asked to complete assignments and tests online.
• Web-50 means that the course is half F2F and half online.  The breakdown of course work and assignments between the F2F and online components is determined by the instructor.
• Web-80 means that the course is primarily online, but may have 1-4 F2F sessions. 
• Web-100 means that the course is completely online and no F2F sessions are required.
