Class Information

Figure 7.38: Class Information
Clicking on Create a New Class will display the class creation wizard (Fig. 7.38).

Class Information

Administrators can assign the class to another instructor when setting up the class. In the Class Information section the only optional field is the section name. The course product should not be changed after the class has begun unless absolutely necessary, as doing so will be disruptive to the students' learning and to the class reports and records. Other values on this page can usually be changed without disruption.

The class dates are used to configure the Calendar, and should include the entire period of time that the students will be using ALEKS (Sec. 7.4.41). By default, the class will be automatically archived after the class end date unless this option is deselected (Sec. 7.4.43).

QuickTables
QuickTables may be added to the class during the creation process or at a later time. For full details about QuickTables, see Chap. 6.

Course Specific Settings

These are any specific settings that apply to this class, such as providing ALEKS graphing calculator functionality.

Continue to Class Summary or Customize This Class
The class will be created when you click on the Create Class Now button. The instructor can choose to see the Class Summary or Customize This Class.
To edit the Class Information and Course Specific Settings sections at a later time, select Class Summary, follow by Class Information, and then Edit.
