Setting up Class Sections
I teach the class in the fall semester, only options when creating a class section are full-year and
second semester. What should I do?
If you have multiple sections of a class and decide to make only one section for all your students in AP
Classroom, will that impact their exam registration? Are separate sections necessary?
If I have students taking an AP course with two or three teachers over multiple terms with students
changing teachers at least once during the school year, should I create one big section for all of the
students so the AP coordinator doesn’t have to move individual students at the terms?
Is it possible to group students within a class section?
