Sending a course that’s offered in multiple semesters

Schools generally create courses based on credit allocation. For example:

Calculus is offered in both 1st and 2nd semesters in a school year, meaning a batch of students take this course in the first semester and get a credit at the end of the semester, and another batch of students take the course in the second semester and they get a credit at the end of this semester. In this case, courseOfferings should be created separately for both the semesters using 1st semester and 2nd semester descriptors respectively.
Calculus is offered as an annual course, meaning a batch of students take the course throughout the entire year. The student receives a credit at the end of the year. In this case, one courseofferering should be created with the annual descriptor.
So it depends on how credits are allocated, even though we do not collect credits.

If a course is a Career Technical Education, then submit the career cluster or
pathway representing the career path of the course offered. Get the Career Pathway from the careerPathwayDescriptor.

Prerequisite: To be able to submit the /courseOfferings endpoint, the /sessions endpoint should be submitted first (CourseOffering has session reference)
