In the USA, the first course in a given subject seems to be 'Subject 101'; subsequent courses in the same subject get larger numbers (102, 201, dunno what the sequence normally is, and it likely varies between institutions anyway). I'm not clear whether this applies in regular schools (K-12 - meaning kindergarten to grade 12, or ages 5-18) or whether it really only applies to university courses. (And, just to add to the confusion, when they ask you where you went to school, Americans most often mean where did you go to university. Isn't it fun sharing a common language!)

So 'Modelling 101' is a basic course in 'Modelling'.
