Create & Manage Course Sections from the Master Course Catalog
A section is an occurrence of a course. Each course can have one or more sections that meet in different rooms at different times, and may be taught by different teachers. For example, if a school has an English Composition course but too many students for one class, they can create several sections of the course.
