Master Course List
If you are using SCHEDULING PLUS to schedule your
students, your course master list has already been entered.
Otherwise, it must be built by assigning each course a
unique number from 001 to 999. It is generally recommended
to group courses from the same department in the
same hundreds. In this sample, all of the ENGLISH
courses are numbers 001 through 099.
For each course, you will also enter its name, level, credits,
weight, GPA factor, optimum size, length, code and priority
of importance for scheduling.
The GPA FACTOR and WEIGHT are used to calculate students'
grade point averages for honor rolls and career class
rank. The GPA FACTOR is used to give more quality
points to higher level courses than to average courses.
The "length" of a master course is whether all of the sections
of the course will meet for the entire year, a semester
or a quarter. The "code" is used to group courses together
when printing a four year transcript with students' courses
sorted by subject.
Schools also have the option to enter a text book name, text
book fee and course fee for each course. These fees and
book names can later be made to print on schedules.
