Updating the Montclair Syllabus for Cross-Listed Course

When cross-listing courses in Canvas, the course information section of the Montclair Syllabus will display the details from the master course, and this portion cannot be edited. If you need to include course information for additional sections, you can add a new component to provide those details.
