Teaching course-collegiate Course-Collegiate This is the collection of college courses. These are individuated by department and course number, including section number. Thus, different sections of English 101 taught by the English Department at University X during the same term count as distinct courses in this sense. Similarly, courses with the same course number and section number taught through the same department and by the same professor during different terms count as different courses. This is the collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvzBhv5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Education</a> at which students display their science projects.

Each instance of this collection is the entire series of events in which one agent becomes indoctrinated by another. Essentially, this event type requires that the latter agent instructs the former in a particular point of view, opinion, idea, belief, and so forth in order to convince him or her to accept it as true, as well the acceptance of these views by the instructed agent. See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rCxtRai0WQdmf_PXdH0rRnA" class="cyc_term">IndoctrinationGoal</a>. This collection of events requires the instruction of one agent by another. Thus, for an agent to search out information on his or her own and establish beliefs in them would not be considered an instance of this collection.
