Graduate courses are one way for the student to learn some of the material on the reading lists. Students who have little experiences in a subject, or are weak in this area will probably take the associated course. This issue should be discussed with your graduate advisor. A course will not cover all of the topics on the reading list for a given subject, so even if the course if taken, the reading list must be examined independently.
