Can one course be divided into several sections with a mentors assigned to one section each?

We have a senior internship course on Canvas and over 100 Seniors are enrolled in the course.  There are 10 mentors in the course.  They currently can see ALL of the seniors' course submissions, even though the seniors are not assigned to them.  I know a course can be divided into a number of sections.  What I am wondering is if each mentor can be assigned only to one section and therefore can not see the work completed by students whom he/she does not mentor.  Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Rebecca,

Yes, you can totally do that.  It sounds like you already know how to create sections and divide students into them.  The key for your mentors is that when you add them with TA or Teacher access, check the box that says "Can only interact with students in their section" and add them to the correct section.  If you already have them added, click on their name from People and there should be a link below there enrollment that lets you limit them to interacting only with people in their section.
