In this same panel you can also set the default starting and ending times of student or member access to the course or community.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_Discussions.tex
+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_Discussions.tex
\label{Course_Prefs_Discussions}
This panel lets you control who gets to participate in discussions and the chatroom.

You can also control if discussion entries can be ``marked up'' using HTML, e.g., boldface or italic, etc.

Finally, you can control if users can edit or delete their own postings.

\label{Course_Prefs_Feedback}
This panel lets you set who gets what kind of messages. LON-CAPA allows users to send messages to course staff. Based on the type of message and the section that the user is in, those messages can be routed to different course staff.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_General.tex
+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_General.tex
\label{Course_Prefs_General}
This panel lets you set and see some general options for your course:
\begin{itemize}
\item Owner and Co-Owner of the course or community.
\item Minimum LON-CAPA version required: some items in your course may require a certain minimum version of LON-CAPA to function. The ``Details'' link shows you which items are responsible for a certain requirement.
\item Course/Community Description: the name under which your course or community shows up on Roles screens.
\item Course ID or number: an internal identifier for your course, usually the course number and semester.
\item URL of Syllabus: if you want use an external page as a syllabus (for example, the posting from your department) instead of the build-in template or some uploaded file, enter the URL here.
\item Users allowed to clone course/community: here you can set rules for which users are allowed to create copies (``clones'') of your course/community.
\end{itemize}

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_Grading.tex
+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_Grading.tex
\label{Course_Prefs_Grading}
This panel lets you choose how grades are displayed to students.

There are different ``gradebooks'' available:

\begin{itemize}
\item Standard: points are calculated by multiplying the fractional credit on a problem (part) with its weight, and added by folder
\item Categories: points are calculated by multiplying the fractional credit on a problem (part) with its weight, and added according to categories set by the Course Coordinator. Categories in turn have different weights toward the overall course points.
\item External, shows number number of completed parts and totals: shows only the number of sucessfully completed problems or problem parts and totals by folders - typically used when grades are calculated external to LON-CAPA.
\item External, shows only number of completed parts: like above, but does not even calculate totals.
\item Spreadsheet: the LON-CAPA-internal spreadsheet.
\end{itemize}

An addition, grading based on significant digits can be disabled.

Index: loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_Language.tex
+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Prefs_Language.tex
\label{Course_Prefs_Language}
This panel lets you adapt the language and date format of your course:
\begin{itemize}
\item Language used: whatever you set here overrides both user and institutional settings, i.e., it forces a certain interface language on all users in the course.
\item Timezone: allows you to set the timezone in which the course runs, which overrides the timezone of your institution.
\item Locale: influences how dates are displayed.
\end{itemize}
