Course Graph
Prerequisite flow into the course, and dependencies flow out from it.
Co-requisites are treated as prerequisite links, and equivalent or cross-listed courses are merged into shared course nodes. The simplified view shows one prerequisite level above the course and one dependency level downstream.
