Overview
A Course Plan if not properly organised, and contents are not clearly conveyed can be a bit confusing to a student. The Course Outline in Paradigm allows you to edit and organise the contents depending on your business or institution’s preference. This Knowledge Base article will guide you on how to edit the column headings, labels, add new tables, and customise grid contents.

Edit Course Plan Table HeadersThe Student Course Plan page header labels are designed to be in table format with the following Header Labels: Course Name, Stage 1-4. The Stage 1-4 headings are designed so the students do not get confused in selecting the units they want and associate them with the academic terms. Their attention will be focused instead on the color-coded units where they can see the statuses of their unit enrolments: previously completed, currently enrolled, allowed to enrol, disallowed by prerequisite, and the units not scheduled.  However, if you would like to customise the column headings following your business or institution’s naming convention, you can do so by following the instructions below:
Other table column headers that you can edit are the following: Table 2 and Table 3, see sample screenshot below.

Edit Course Plan First Column Row LabelsColumn Labels on the first column of the Student Course Plan view can be customised to make it more organised and easy to read by grouping the units into constraints or adding a new table for each constraint type as necessary. Editing the Labels under the Course Name Column Header The labels on this column are coming from the Description field when adding a new unit or constraint to the course outline. Note the example on the screenshot below:
NOTE: When adding another unit (constraint) to another column (e.g. Stage 2, Stage 3….), if you enter a value on the Description field on them, the last column where the unit (constraint) added in that row will override the previous ones in the row. In the above screenshot, for the BEM3005 course under the Stage 4 first row column, its Description value if set will override BEM1001, BEM1008, and BEM2005. It is highly recommended that the Description field is set on the first column unit (constraint) added for each row (given that all the other units (constraints) on that same row have the same description)

Adding another Table to Group Units or ConstraintsYou also have the option to add another table below the existing table that you are currently seeing under the Student Course Plan page. An example would be displaying all the Core Units on the table at the top and adding another table below for all your Electives.

Customising Grid ContentThe contents inside each grid are highly customisable, depending on your business or institution’s preference. All three information inside each grid: Unit Title, Credit Point Value, and the Grade Outcome are form fields that can be set as hidden or visible against a specific group or permission levels that you want this information to be seen.
