This isn't really clear to me. Do you want the user to be login to store his/her information. Are we modifying only part 1 from homework 3 and extra credit to modify part 2 of homework3?? Just be clear.

That's more or less it. Course planning still should work in HW4 (as described in HW3), but the course plans don't need to be saved in database in HW4. The reason we treat course plans differently from courses and users is that course and user information should always be saved, but course plans may not, because it's possible that a student may want to try a few different plans and only keep one of them (or none of them). This is also the reason why we allow users to do course planning without logging in.
