As Course Coordinator, select PARM on the Remote Control or Main Menu to set your course parameters. From that screen, you can either edit the course environment or the course parameters.

The course environment contains several parameters that apply directly to the course as a whole.

The other parameters in the course apply with varying granularities to the components of the course (ie maps, problems, and students).

You can display parameters for the entire course (top-level map) or just select the enclosing map. After the parameters display, you can choose to set parameters (example: due dates) on three levels:

  1. Entire course. Everything in the top-level sequence. Click on the asterisk (if no current entry exists) or on the entry in any of the problems under the general heading.

  2. Enclosing map. Click on the asterisk or entry in one of the problems in the enclosing map under for Enclosing Map heading.

  3. One particular resource. Click on the asterisk or entry in the particular problem you want to set parameters for, under the for Resource heading.

The last heading says Parameter in Effect. Under this heading is the actual parameter being used. The most specific parameter is what will be used for any given resource.
