So we have crosslisted classes. For example CIS 4350 and MGMT 4350 are the same class and we crosslist them, so that the instructor can put all content in CIS 4350 which can be seen by students in either class. This all works. There are two issues, however. First, the instructor has both classes in their dashboard. Is there any way to hide the other section (in this case MGMT 4350) automatically? Second, the student who signed up for MGMT 4350 sees CIS 4350 instead of the class they signed up for (MGMT 4350). Is there a way to fix this?
Are you cross listing by using the xlist file? We have never used that file. When we cross-list manually, as long as all the sections are removed from the course, the course disappears from the dashboard. Not sure how the xlist file handles that. The teacher can remove the course from their dashboard and when the term is concluded, it will remove from their All Courses list.
All the students in the course will see the same name. You could give it a more generic name or suggest that students use a nickname to change for themselves.
