GitHub Classroom automates repository creation and access control, making it easy for teachers to distribute starter code and collect assignments on GitHub.
Small copy changes to help new GitHub Classroom users figure out a good name for their classroom
Why
While observing teachers create new classrooms, I noticed that none of them actually used the classroom name that was auto-generated for them. But new users, in particular, weren't sure what would make a good classroom name. They didn't know whether the name would be visible to students. They weren't sure if they needed to create separate classrooms for different sections of the same course.
Hopefully, these small copy changes can help address those issues.
