Some classes are blended -- with honors or advanced students learning alongside non-honors students. To capture this on the transcript, though, two entirely different classes need to be created. A teacher therefore has to create every single assignment twice and can't even copy assignments to the other class, since it has a different course name (with honors or advanced).
There should be an option to create cohorts of students in a class that can be assigned different assignments and receive different transcript weights without having to duplicate all effort in another section.
