\label{Course_Setting_Parameters}
As Course Coordinator, select \textbf{PARM} on the Remote Control or Main Menu to set your course
parameters. From that screen, you can either edit the course
environment or the course parameters. 

The course environment contains several parameters that apply directly
to the course as a whole.

The other parameters in the course apply with varying granularities to
the components of the course, such as maps, problems, and students.

You can display parameters for the entire course (top-level
map) or just select the enclosing map.  After the parameters display,
you can choose to set parameters (example: due dates) on three
levels:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Entire course - everything in the top-level sequence. Click on the
cursor icon in any of the problems under the \textbf{general} heading.
\item Enclosing map.  Click on the cursor icon in one of the problems in the
enclosing map under \textbf{for Enclosing Map} heading.
\item One particular resource. Click on the cursor icon in the particular
problem you want to set parameters for under the \textbf{for Resource} heading.
\end{enumerate}

The last heading says \textbf{Parameter in Effect}. 
Under this heading is the actual parameter being used. The \emph{most
  specific} parameter is what will be used for any given resource.
