Classes should remain in Classes drop-down regardless of term

We find that it is difficult for teachers to find previous term courses if they need to grade them. For example, if a teacher wants to calculate grades for a 1st quarter course, but it is now the 2nd quarter, they need to select View other classes from the Classes drop-down and then search for their class.

We have many teachers get nervous when their classes disappear and would really like if the courses they teach for the entire year would show in the classes drop-down instead of just basing it on the current term.

    It would be nice to have the pull down options ordered by term, with the current term classes at the top.

    We also experience the problem of teachers wanting to do advance setup of a future term course and don't see it without the "View Other" option.

    I would say that this should be an option.  The "Default Days" option already in there will keep the courses listing beyond the end of the term for X days, but that option messes up the list on "Enrollment" for the current term if it's different (that Enrollment doesn't roll over until the Default Days has expired).  So having an option to "Show All Year" vs. "Show Current Term" would allow us to toggle this on and off as needed.
