Welcome to Tropes 101. I'm your professor, Dr. Terwilliger Roper. Your course syllabus is being passed around now. It has my office hours listed on it. I assume you have bought the text for this course, Basic Tropes in Fictional Media, 10th edition, by Van der Trope.note Make sure it's the 10th edition; the 9th edition is badly outdated. In many academic systems, introductory courses for a field of study are designated "101". That the course is "100-level" indicates that it is intended for beginning or first-year students. That the course is numbered "101" (or occasionally "100") indicates that it is the first such course. Many subjects actually taught will have at least one 100-level course, especially in fiction. The ones that don't are usually specialized subjects. Occasionally, a fictional 101 course will be way more or less advanced than the course number justifies. Not infrequently 101 will be the only class level ever mentioned. Its ubiquity even allows a character to mark himself as a university student or professor by mentioning [Subject] 101. The notation of a course as 101 means that it is expected that anyone with normal intelligence and work ethic and minimal talent in the field can successfully complete it, and will thereby acquire the basics of the discipline; also, that anyone with the basics of the discipline will know any fact labeled "subject 101". This connotation leads to the common subtrope "Arcana 101", in which a writer tries to give an accessible flavor to some exotic discipline through introducing it by means of a (usually fictional) 101 course. The sarcastic variant is "Inanity 101", in which the 101 course is in some subject for which it would be unreasonable to expect training to be necessary or useful. The trope title falls more or less under this variant. Due to Eagleland Osmosis, "[Subject] 101" is often used by non-Americans who have no idea where the phrase comes from — though some British universities have adopted the system, and it is used in Australia. Not to be confused with Always in Class One (the equivalent would be the earliest offering of the week for [Subject] 101), the trope Room 101 (no matter how much you might hate the class), or the TV series Room 101 (which is named after the former where people send their hates into said room, which, yes, could be these classes).

Zoey 101 is titled after this fashion. Additionally, one episode has Quinn alluding to this trope, when she reasons that Chase insistently going out with a crude Zoey-lookalike is him trying to replace her, then concluding "That's Psychology 101!". A side-effect of the title, but the dormitory of Zoey, alongside two varying best friends, throughout the series is Room 101 (closer to this trope than that one). |

Monsters University: The titular institution offers a major in Scaring for monsters who want to become Scarers. The most important subject for that major is, of course, Scaring, and its introductory course is "Scaring 101", taught by Prof. Knight. The students learn to perform all of the different scary faces and to analyze a human kid's profile to determine the best approach to scaring them to death, including which scary face to make, the place to creep on from, and noises. Failing this course means being banned from the Scaring major. Both Mike and Sully take it and fail, although for different reasons — the former for simply not being scary-looking and the latter for being a lazy talent. | |

Community has every episode named after a college course (or something that would sound like a college course). "Spanish 101" and "Debate 109" have both been episode titles. In the episode Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design, Jeff and Annie have a list of fake night school classes, with names like "History of Something", "Introduction to Basics" and "Studyology". One of them is called "Class 101". |
