What is the standard amount of 500 level courses?

My degree doesn't really stipulate how many I take. In fact I have filled all requirements for my degree, have 10 classes left, and have yet to take a single 500 level course.

Now while all my requirements are met, the other requirement is that I get 20 full course equivalents and right now I have 30/40 classes. Keep in mind I started in 03 so the requirements are different than those who started in 07 and beyond as the U of C changed the standards.

So my question is: How many 4th year courses should I take? I obviously want to take a few, I was thinking 2 each in my final semesters for a total of 4. Is that enough? Does it matter? I want to make sure I get everything I can out of my University education so I don't just want my last 10 classes to be filler and GPA boosters, but I don't want to take so many that I can't pass them all and do well.

I'm a Poli Sci major if it matters.
