A Course lives inside a Term and holds everything specific to one class: its instructor, meeting schedule, grading system, and every Assignment and Assessment due in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a term’s \u2026<\/strong> menu, choose Add Course<\/strong>. The form is long enough to split across two views here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Basic Course Information<\/strong> \u2014 title, department, department code, course number, optional description, and course type (In Person, Online, Hybrid, etc.). Below that, Overall Course Instructor<\/strong> \u2014 first and last name go together, fill in both or leave both blank; email and phone are always optional; instructor title defaults to “Professor.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scrolling down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Course grading system<\/strong> \u2014 choose Percentage & weight or Points-based, then a grading system (Regular, etc.), course credits, and an optional custom grade scale (otherwise it uses the term’s default, Standard A\/B\/C\/D\/F). Course meetings<\/strong> \u2014 first and last class meeting dates default to the term’s dates but can be changed if this course runs on a different schedule; set a start and end time, then tap each day it meets. Add meeting time manually<\/strong> covers courses that meet at different times on different days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap Save<\/strong>, and the course is added to the term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course detail view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A course’s detail view centers on where things actually stand: your current grade, and a calculator for what you’d need on the rest of the term’s work to land at a target grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
General Chemistry I (CHEM 151) \u2014 basic info, course meetings, current grade 88.9% (B), and “Averaging 90.3% on remaining work would reach this grade” for a target of A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding an assignment or assessment from here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A course’s \u2026<\/strong> menu is the shared entry point for both Add Assignment<\/strong> and Add Assessment<\/strong>, plus Edit Course<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The course-level “\u2026” menu. This is the same menu whether you’re about to add an assignment or an assessment \u2014 see Assignments<\/a> and Assessments<\/a> for what each form asks for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":155,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_is_vendor_doc":"0","footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-175","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":340,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/175\/revisions\/340"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/155"}],"next":[{"title":"Importing Courses via iCal","link":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/docs\/studifoca\/using-studifoca\/importing-courses-via-ical\/","href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/264"}],"prev":[{"title":"Agenda","link":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/docs\/studifoca\/using-studifoca\/agenda\/","href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
