I'm sure it wasn't just a pronunciation course. I took Amanda's point
to mean only that the particular details of proper pronunciation were
not taught until the 300 level - that is, the third year of Russian
studies.
Incidentally, Georgia Tech (my alma mater) uses four-digit course
numbers. The first digit is the year, the second two identify the
course series uniquely within the major, and the final one is the
position of the particular quarter (or, these days, semester) in the
sequence. Thus, the introduction to computer programming was a
two-part series consisting of CS 1401 and CS1402. No other CS
("computer science") coruses had "40" in the middle.
