 <h2>Class Operations</h2>
 
+       <p>The operations on <code>MonoClass*</code> allow you to
+       query a number of properties of a .NET class from the C API.
+
 <h3>Getting a MonoClass</h3>
 
-<h4><a name="api:mono_class_from_generic_parameter">mono_class_from_generic_parameter</a></h4>
+       <p>You typically would obtain a <code>MonoClass*</code>
+       pointer by using a combination of the <code>MonoImage*</code>
+       where the type is located, the namespace and name using the
+       <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_name">mono_class_from_name</a></code>
+       or
+       the <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_name_case">mono_class_from_name_case</a></code>
+       APIs or by using
+       the <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_typeref">mono_class_from_typeref</a></code>
+       or <code><a href="api:mono_class_from_typeref">mono_class_from_typeref_checked</a></code>
+       methods.
+
+       <p>For low-level access, you can get the <code>MonoClass
+       *</code> from an image and an ECMA type token relative to
+       the <code>MonoImage*</code> by using <a href="api:mono_class_get">mono_class_get</a></h4>.
