I created a new userscript for removing students from courses in bulk. This will be particularly useful when managing clubs/activity and remediation manually created courses that aren’t set to conclude.

The goal is to cut down on disconnected email threads and encourage students to use submission comments to keep questions and feedback in context. The Problem Many students had already…
This information is really geared towards users who are trying to get started with the API. I have seen questions in the community about the API, and have see Postman mentioned many times.
