Create Multiple-Component Classes: One-to-Many Type

 

Remember, you create multiple-component classes through the Update Sections of a Class interface, which is accessed by navigating to Main Menu>Curriculum Management>Schedule of Classes>Update Sections of a Class. After providing the search criteria, the available sections appear in the Update Sections of a Class interface.

NOTE: The functionality provided in the Update Sections of a Class area is handy for getting an at-a-glance view of class sections. It can help you visualize groupings, and you can also use it to make quick updates to certain field values like enrollment capacities.

 

Creating a One-to-Many Options Multiple-Component Class

 

To create this configuration, you alter values in the Class Type and Assoc columns. We'll continue to use BSC 4473C as our course example.

The questions you ask yourself are answered in the following manner for the one-to-many configuration:

  • What are the required components of the class? Both are required.
  • In which component should students to enroll? In one of two lecture components.
  • Will the grouping type require a change to the Associated Class number if the group comprises multiple enrollment sections? Yes.
  • In what section do students need to be automatically enrolled? After choosing a lecture component, students are not automatically enrolled in a lab section-they choose a lab section.

One-to-Many

 

In the image above, students enroll in one of two lecture sections-0001 or 0004-have a choice to register in one of any four lab components you've associated with both lecture components.

 

1. On the Class Status tab, determine which class sections are being grouped in the one-to-many options configuration.

2. In this example, students enroll in a lecture component. Thus, if you did not designate the Class Type when you created the class section, change the value to E (Enroll) in the associated Class Type field for the lecture section you want open for enrollment. Note that in this example, students enroll in one of two lectures-section 0001 or 0004-both of which have the same four labs associated with them.

3. Remember that a student is required to enroll in one of two available lecture components, but can choose any associated lab component after having chosen a lecture. Therefore, in the Assoc column, designate one lecture as 1 and one lecture as 2, and designate all of the associated labs with a 9999.

4. Click Save.
