Description

Class Name:

The name of the Class must be unique. Other attributes of a Class definition can be edited and changed, but the Name of the Class is set in stone and cannot be changed. If it is a multi-section Class, the name of each Class can be made unique by tying it to its Section. For example, if General Biology 101 has three Sections, the Class Names could be General Biology 101A, General Biology 101B, and General Biology 101C, respectively.

Instructor:

Enter the name of the person who will be presenting the Class. If an assignment hasn’t been made, you could indicate Staff and make the assignment later (using the Edit Class Edit Class Function Button Function Button). This Instructor Name will be displayed, along with the Class Name, in the Classes List Window.

Section:

Identify the Class's Section, if there is one.

Time:

What time does the Class meet? It's not required, but it might be helpful to include am or pm and the days of the week the Class meets. If the Class is longer than one hour, it might also be helpful to include not only the Start Time, but the End Time, as well:  8am - 5pm Sat.

Location:

Indicate where the Class is meeting—campus, building, floor, room number, etc.
