> This really belongs in Harvard's "JFK School of Government", not economics.
From the PDF you linked:
> ECON 1152 and HKS SUP 135
(HKS is Harvard Kennedy School)
> Sections: 1 per week at times to be arranged. Sections will be divided into two groups: one for students with no prior coursework in statistics/econometrics and another intended for those who have taken courses in statistics/econometrics. You may choose which type of section you would like to attend depending upon your background.
> Kennedy School students must enroll in the more advanced section.
So it looks to be a joint class between Econ and the Kennedy school, with the Kennedy school students required to take the class on "hard mode".
