[support] how to show a view in a table format

[vibanu]

We added semester as taxtonomy term with values  Spring 2013, Fall
2013 and Spring 2014 for now to test this. Created a view of table format.
We were thinking of showing a filter of semester for students to pick from
and show one semester at a time. However, this also did not work because I
could only see the courses that were offered. I was unable to list all
courses with offered YES or NO next to it.

On adding new field each semester, we will end up with so many redundant
fields in this so called 'courses' content type. Is this a suggested
practice?
