What are father and son courses?
If only some class meetings of a course are affected by a modification (place, memo, type, etc.), PRONOTE Campus represents the course in the form of a father course and one or more son courses:
- the father course consolidates the initial characteristics of the course on a first line;
- the son courses are class meetings with the same characteristics that are grouped together in a single line. There are therefore as many son courses as there are variations of the course. For example, if a course is held on three different time slots, there are three son courses.
