This is the name of your class and can be whatever you want it to be. We suggest you name your classes so they are easy for you to identify which class you are dealing with.

This is the type of class you are teaching. Options include Lecture, Lab, Lecture w/ Lab, Seminar, Studio, Field Course, Field Study. Please choose the option that best describes your class.
While you cannot create a multi-section class, you can create multi-section surveys by specifying section identifiers when you upload students to the survey. Students are added when you make an activity. For more information, please visit Creating Surveys for Multiple Sections at Once section.
When students fill out surveys, the CATME System has the ability to analyze the response data and flag "Exceptional Conditions" that might affect a student's educational experience. By enabling Extra Messages, the CATME system will issue messages to the student to alert them of this fact depending on the condition.
To enable Extra Messages, simply click the checkbox labeled "Enable extra messages in students' results." This option can be enabled or disabled at any time via the Class Editor (refer to the section below)
For information on "Exceptional Conditions" and examples of them along their corresponding messages, please visit the Exceptional Condition Info page .
To Edit a class, simply click the name of the class in the Quick Summary Page. This will take you to the "Class Editor."
The Class Editor allows you to change the information related to your class, add activities to your class, and delete your class.
To change class information, simply edit the field you want to change and click "Save" or "Save and Return."
To Delete your class, click the "Delete Class" button on the bottom right corner. Please note that a class cannot be deleted if it holds an active survey. Any active surveys must be deleted before a class can be deleted.
To add an activity, click the "Add Activity" button in the bottom left corner.
