like Tracy said...
http://www2.sdsu.edu/robots.txt
but I've heard elsewhere google is flaking

but when I started with sdsu.edu, I really didn't
find anything but bling advertisements. not till
I got a pdf catalog did I find the cs.sdsu.edu
domain but that didn't help find course listings.
back to sdsu.edu, that site would drive me nuts
if I needed something. the class schedule is linked
in a few places, few clicks gets me to:

http://www2.sdsu.edu/cgi-bin/schedule/browse=dept/command=search/dept=CS/semester=spring08
http://www2.sdsu.edu/cgi-bin/schedule/browse=dept/command=search/dept=CS/semester=summer08
http://www2.sdsu.edu/cgi-bin/schedule/browse=dept/command=search/dept=CS/semester=fall08

Sigh, it says Lewis, J teaches cs530, Systems Programming.
and nothing useful about course content.
