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.

Simplified view: direct prerequisites for the course, then one dependency step downstream.
