If you are one of the administrators you will see the registered administrators for this course.
During the “courses preference selection time” the Course Organizer or Tutor can add and edit his preferences using the “edit” button at the bottom of the page.
Additionally two searchable lists are available, showing students interested in your course. The top left hand lists shows all students originally interested in your course. It contains the students the least preferable for you. The list on the bottom left hand shows all students inacceptable for your course (in red).
Using Drag&Drop you can move students between lists. Students dragged into the lists on the right hand side are your preferred students for your course. Rank the right hand list by assigning your most preferred student rank number one. More than one student can be assigned to one rank, meaning you show no preference between those students.
