In American universities courses are typically numbered with four digits where the first corresponds to the year of a student's career, so freshman (1st year) courses are 1xxx, sophomore courses are 2xxx, and so on. The higher that first digit, the more advanced the course. (Since most bachelors degree careers are four years, courses that start with a 5 are graduate courses.)
With that context `Architecture 4031: Introductory Coreboot` is either a bonafide college course title or it's an attempt to sound like one.
- dragontamer 3y agoMy USA college had 3 digit codes. Introduction to computer science was 101. And most people I know of title '101' as the introduction idea. Second year students take 201, 231, etc. Etc. Third year was 3xx. Fourth year was weird, because you take a few graduate classes. Everything from 4xx standard 4th year stuff, to 6xx or 7xx graduate level stuff was available. ------- I'm pretty sure 6xx or 7xx was more about when the professors felt like teaching btw. A 6xx class was offered every year. 7xx may only be offered once (ever), or maybe every few years at best.
