Namesort descending Modifiers Type Description
_CourseList::add_list function Adds the supplied CourseList to the bottom of $this's list.
_CourseList::assign_group_id function Assign a groupID to every course in the list.
_CourseList::assign_min_grade function Give every course in the list a minimum grade.
_CourseList::assign_semester_num function Assign a semesterNum to every course in the list.
_CourseList::assign_unselectable_courses_with_hours_greater_than function Go through the list and find any course whose hours are greater than $hours. Make that course "unselectable." Used in the groups.
_CourseList::cast static public function Used to cast a regular ObjList object into a CourseList.
_CourseList::contains_group_requirement_id function Returns TRUE if this list has a course which contains $id for it's db_group_requirement_id property.
_CourseList::count_credit_hours function Similar to count_hours, but this will only count courses which have been taken and have a grade.
_CourseList::count_credit_quality_points function Similar to count_credit_hours, but this will only count courses which have been taken and have a grade. We will return back a sum of their quality points.
_CourseList::count_fulfilled_or_advised function Returns the number of courses in this list which have either been fulfilled or advised to take. It does not count hours, just the courses themselves.
_CourseList::count_hours function Returns hour many hours are in $this CourseList.
_CourseList::dec_specified_repeats function Go through the list and decrement the specified_repeats value for all instances of Course $course.
_CourseList::exclude_all_subjects_except function Go through the courseList and take out any course which does not have the $subject as its subject_id.
