A Course is a plan of study. Most of the time, many Classes of a single Course are taught in the same Session.
For example, a school offers a Data Structures & Algorithms Course. There might be several Classes of that course, each with a different teacher and a different set of students enrolled in it.
You might imagine that a Course would be found in your university's course listing, whereas a Class or Section would be what you actually Enrolled in during the class registration period.
In previous versions of the Edlink API, Course had a different meaning. That meaning has been adapted to the Class object.
In v2.0, we've corrected some of our terminology to be more accurate and universal. Please review Migration from v1.0 for more information.
