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?

It's easy to get tangled up in the details with Drupal, Datatables has a good interface with views, and hiding old columns, while not automatic, is simple. I would add a single checkbox for each semester as a separate column and hide the old ones from displaying in the view, adding new columns each year or semester. Displaying the checkbox (checked or not) would do the trick. You might like the search box with datatables, it produces a very responsive filter that works with each character you type, and your table is not so large that response issues will show up. You will need to play with CSS for styling, but nothing major as long as you don't mind manually hiding columns from time to time.

Hi All,
We would like to replicate the following page into DRUPAL
http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/students/undergrad/CSEcourses.html
We have content type of courses. We are struggling to find a solution on how or the best way to show the 4 semesters.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
