| 6 | 'Student' is a multi-purpose term in Kofa which may lead to some |
|---|
| 7 | misconceptions. First of all, 'Student' is a Python/Grok container |
|---|
| 8 | class and student objects are the instances of this class. Sometimes |
|---|
| 9 | we are sluggish when talking about 'creating students' and actually |
|---|
| 10 | mean: 'creating student container objects and storing the objects |
|---|
| 11 | (persistently) in the ``students`` container'. The latter is the |
|---|
| 12 | parent container for all students in the portal. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | The :ref:`treelike storage of objects <object_database>` in the |
|---|
| 15 | student section can be figured as follows:: |

| 37 | .. note:: |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | Throughout Kofa we distinguish singular and plural expressions. A |
|---|
| 40 | students container contains students (or more precisely student |
|---|
| 41 | containers), a payments container contains payments, a courses |
|---|
| 42 | container contains courses, a certificates container contains |
|---|
| 43 | certificates. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | Furthermore, a student is also a user of the portal and the student |
|---|
| 46 | object is a user account surrogate, see :ref:`Applicants and |
|---|
| 47 | Students <applicants_and_students>`. In the following we always |
|---|
| 48 | refer to the student container when talking about a student. |
