+# Typical work flow for a class creation
+
+* Create a class database with CreateCourseGradeBook.tcl command.
+    ./CreateCourseGradeBook.tcl 2015_Spring_Phys476 eemikh@wm.edu  2015 Spring "Physics 476 - Modern Astrophysics" Eugeniy Mikhailov
+* Prepare comma separated list of students with their names, ID, emails, and CRN.
+ * Note: ID is optional. But if we have ID, we can show a student photo
+ * Note: CRN is optional. It is intended to separate graders permissions across sections. But it is not implemented. 
+  The best way to do it, is to save a "Summary class web page" from the banner and process it with banner2csv.pl. This will automatically extract required information.
+    ./banner2csv.pl banner_summary_page.html > tt.csv
+* Now we ready to populate the class database
+    ./csv2GradeBook.tcl 2015_Spring_Phys476 tt.csv
+* Upload resulting database file to the cgi directory, fix permissions
+* Access the class DB via web interface and add TAs/graders
+

 This set  of script requires  at least version  tcl8.5, since it  uses List
 containment and negated list containment (in ni) expression operators.
