Copy Course with Users performs a complete copy of the course. This is the only Copy option that copies user records, such as grades and Discussion Board messages, to the new course. This option is useful if a course is split into multiple sections. The Instructor may do an exact copy, then un-enroll specific students to create two sections of the same course.
