Cohorts
In this section, we'll look at how to create and use cohorts. You can perform many operations with cohorts in bulk, affecting many students at once. In general, cohorts consist of students who matriculate at the same time, and then take all their classes together, culminating in graduating together. For example, as in the case in the previous section, 20 students enter a master's degree program at the same time. They take three courses per term, and they do so at the same time. The students would interact with each other in each course, albeit in different ways. Over time, they would develop trust and they would learn from each other.
