Here, it's two terms per volume.

We have approx 18 people per section in ASL 1 and 2 (I assume in 3 and 4
also, but haven't yet taken them). Each course meets twice a week @ 1:40 a
class, for 3:20 a week total.

I think, but am not sure, that ASL 1-2 are numbered for undergrads and 3-4
for grad students, but anyone can take either, so it doesn't really
matter.
