Assigning Competencies to Courses and Sections
You can assign CBE elements to a course (and, thus, the sections subsequently created from it) or to individual sections. After a course or section is designated as a CBE course, you can assign CBE elements to it.
The assigning process is similar whether you're working with a course or a section. In the Registration Administration hub, use several tabs on either the Manage Course Details page or the Manage Section Details page.

Roll Up: The instructor grades the required competencies. The section grade is then automatically calculated as an average of the grades on the required competencies.
Roll Down: The instructor grades the section. Each required competency then automatically receives the same grade as the section.
None: The instructor grades the section. The instructor might or might not also grade any or all competencies, but the grades on competencies have no relationship to the section grade, to GPA, or to any other calculation for the student's record.
Sections inherit Grading Method settings from their catalog course, but you can change the method on the Manage Sections page, Grading Controls view. Just as on the Manage Sections page, the options are Roll Up, Roll Down, and None.
Use the Competencies tab to view, edit, or remove competencies from a section.
Select an element under the section name. In the information grid, you can edit fields as needed. You can use the Remove button to remove the element or the Add button to assign a new element.
From the Registration Administration hub, in the Hub options drop-down, select Manage catalog courses.
Navigate or use the filters to find the course you want to change. (In the CBE view, select the CBE Catalog Course filter, and select Yes to limit the listings to only CBE-designated courses.)
On the course's row, click the Select action button, and select View Course Details. The Manage Course Details page appears. (You can also access the Manage Course Details page from a course's summary page.)
On the Competencies tab, select the course's checkbox in the left panel.
Click the Add button. The Add Competency pop-up opens.
In the Add to drop-down, select the course. (Or, if there are already units assigned, you can select a unit to add a competency to.)
In the Search Competencies by drop-down, you can search by catalog, section, or competency type.
Select catalog if you know a catalog course that already has the same CBE elements you want to copy to this course.

On the course's row, click the Actions button, and select Manage section details. The Manage Section Details page appears with the Competencies tab open. (You can also access the Manage Section Details page from a section's summary page in the Section options drop-down.)
Click the Add button. The Add Competency pop-up opens.
In the Add to drop-down, select the course. (Or, if there are already units assigned, you can select a unit to add a competency to.)

Yes. The section is designated as a CBE section, and it inherits any CBE elements the catalog course has at the moment of the section's creation. However, later changes to CBE elements in the catalog course won't affect the section. And if you make changes to the section, they don't affect the catalog course.
Access the CBE Competency Definitions page. There you'll see all the competencies listed. Back on the Manage Course Details or Manage Section Details page, you can begin typing one of the competencies you saw listed.
