Wishlist: allow users to associate terms while creating a new course

[Jane Sandberg]

Right now, the course materials module offers a round-about way to create a new course that is attached to one or more term:

1) Go to Administration > Local Administration > Course Reserves List.
2) Click the Create Course button and fill out the required fields.
3) Click the Terms taught link.
4) Add an entry to associate your course with a specific term.

It would be more convenient to be able to add the terms during step 2.

I'm not sure if this should be a general solution (to allow fm-editor components to edit map classes that are linked to the current fieldmapper object), or one just for this interface. It will definitely have to save the course before attempting to save the associated terms, though, or else we'll end up violating foreign key constraints.

I agree with Jane that there's currently more steps than necessary to add a term to a new course.
