# Programming 1
### Steps
To create a **Programming 1** class in CodeChum, you only need to follow these steps:
1. Login to [https://app.codechum.com/ ](https://app.codechum.com/)with your Teacher account. This will redirect you to the View All Classes screen.
2. Click the **Create Class** card. This will open a popup window showing you what information we need to make your class.
3. Provide a name for your class.
4. Select the course that your class will follow. In this case, since you wish to create a class for your **Programming 1** course, let's choose that on the list of dropdown options.
5. Finally, based on the course you selected, select the programming language that you will be using to teach the course. Currently, we offer the **Programming 1** course for the following languages:
1. C
2. C++
3. C#
4. Java
5. Python
6. **(Optional)** Customize the course outline of your **Programming 1** class by reordering, editing, or removing lessons and topics available.
7. **(Recommended)** You can now link an existing class to this one to automatically sync grades from CodeChum to your LMS. To enable this feature, make sure your school’s LMS is connected first. [See detailed steps here](/teachers/advanced-guide/lms-integration.md).
8. Once done, click the green **Create Class** button. This will show a popup window informing you that you've successfully created your class!
9. One last setting you need to set up is your students’ learning method.
* If you want to manually control when each activity opens and ends so your students learn together, click **Yes**.
* If you’d prefer all activities to be unlocked right away so students can learn at their own pace, click **No**.
10. Make sure the learning method you choose is correct, as you won’t be able to change it afterward.
***
And there you have your **very own class**! Time to invite your students in.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.codechum.com/teachers/getting-started/create-a-class/programming-1.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
