Add/edit courses

Before creating courses, it's a good idea to set up some course categories. By default, there is only one Moodle category: Miscellaneous. While you are certainly free to put all your classes in the miscellaneous category, your students will find it easier to find their classes if they are organized in descriptive categories.
