Question of the Week

This Week's Faculty Question

Q: I have cross listed the two lecture sections (LEC01 & LEC02) of my course ECE3XX (co-lectured with another professor), using the instructions on your guide: How do I cross-list (combine) my courses? The problem is that now the two sections are combined inside the LEC01 section and the name that appears onn the course page can be confusing for the students. Is there a way to change the name that appears on the course Quercus page so that students know that this course includes ALL the sections? I've trying under Settings, but don't see a way to make this change myself- can your office help? 

A: Yes, of course! As course instructor with a 'teacher' role in the course, you won't be able to make this change yourself. However, our office can make the change for you.

For example, we can change the name from ECE3XXH1 F LEC0101:Course Title to ECE3XXH1 F All sections:Course Title or ECE3XXH1 F LEC01 & LEC02:Course Title.
