What is a Subject?
These are the assigned modules under a Class and Section. Subjects are critical in this academic structure as this is the grouping where you can do the following actions:
Mark Attendance
Mark Grades
Assign Teachers
Assign Class Schedules
Create subject content in the LMS.
There are 3 types of Subjects:
Core - These are mandatory subjects for the students. When they enroll in a Class and Section, they will automatically be enrolled in the Core Subjects
Elective - These are not mandatory subjects. Students can choose if they want to be enrolled in an Elective or admins can assign them manually to Elective subjects
Flexi Core - This works like an Elective, but with a different Terminology. There are cases wherein schools have Core Subjects in their Classes, and students can choose for which Section to take it. In such situations, you can use the Flexi Core subject type.
Ex.
K-12 - English, Maths, Science, Social Science etc.
University
For a Master in Business class, subjects can be Accounting, Strategy Management, Design Thinking
Academies:
For a Basic English class, subjects can be English Grammar, Pronunciation, Vocabulary
