Review and edit a course

Each course has its own page with its class meetings, office hours and every graded item (assignment, quiz, test or exam), week by week. You can change or delete any item, edit the course's school, dates and weekly schedule, and upload another copy of the syllabus. To settle dates the syllabus didn't give, see Resolve your follow-ups.

#Open a course

1. In the top menu, click Courses.
2. On the Courses & syllabi page, click the course card.

The course page opens. At the top are Go to calendar and Upload another syllabus, then the course name with its School, Term and the syllabus file it came From. Click View file to open the syllabus.

The page has these sections:

• Class meetings: the days, times and room, and a list of upcoming meetings with the next one marked Next. Click Show all to see every meeting in the term. Click a meeting to open that week in the calendar.
• Office hours: the instructor's office hours and the next few dates, or Not listed in this syllabus.
• Follow-ups: this course's open follow-ups. It only appears when there are some.
• Syllabus: counts of each kind of item with the next one due, then the term week by week. The current week is marked This week and starts open. Click a week to open it, or click Expand all. Items with no date are in a No date yet week at the end.

Items in the Syllabus section can carry these labels:

• Tentative ?: the date is AI-estimated. Confirm it in Follow-ups.
• Confirmed: you confirmed the date in Follow-ups.
• New or Updated: a new copy of the syllabus added or changed the item.

After you upload a new copy of the syllabus, a What changed box under the course name lists the items added, moved or given a date, and the details filled in.

#Edit or delete an item

2. Click the item. Assignment details or Course event details opens.
3. Change any of these:
   • Title: the item's name.
   • Type: Other, Class, Assignment, Quiz or Exam.

The course page updates. If you gave the item a new date, it's treated as confirmed: any follow-up for it closes, and its study sessions move to fit the new date.

Clicking a class meeting opens that week in the calendar instead. Clicking an item in No date yet opens its follow-up so you can add the date.

To delete the item instead, click Delete in the same dialog, then click OK to confirm. The item is removed from the course and your calendar, along with its upcoming study sessions that you haven't started.
