 ```{dropdown} What will the course be like?
 
-You can see the notes and syllabus for Spring 2023 on the semester's [course website](https://introcompsys.github.io/spring2023). Some things will change for Fall 2023, but the basic ideas will be similar.
+You can see the notes and syllabus for past semesters linked on the sides.  Some things change each semester, but the basic ideas are consistent. 
 
 In each class session, we will explore through hands on activities with bits of lecture different topics.  After that, you will have things to try and experiment with to reinforce what you learn so that you retain it and learn more details about the topics you like best.  Assignments will include mostly short answers and small excerpts of code, a lot of scripting, less long projects.  The grading is set up so that you choose the level of depth you want to study at (and corresponding grade) and then you work to demonstrate that level of understanding through revisions as needed.

-```{dropdown} Why does e-campus let us choose a number of credits?
-CSC392 (actually all CSCx92) is a special course number we put in ecampus to allow
-faculty to develop new courses or teach a one time offering. We call it a "Topics Course."
-Courses offered as CSCx92 can be different every semester, or even multiple "sections" in
-a given semester all covering completely different things.
 
-A specific topic can be offered as CSCx92 three times before becoming a regular course
-and getting its own course number.
