Hi all!
I've modified the homework description for Homework 05 to clarify that any many-to-many relationships must be resolved; see the homework sheet for details.

Is there really a way for the have the student table include "a list
of all the classes the student is in" without knowing the maximum
number of classes they can be in and listing that number of different
"class" foreign keys together?

No, you're exactly right. But this information, while it is a characteristic of the student _entity_ (in the modelling sense), does not need to be represented in the student _table_. This is a (fairly mild) example of the mismatch between how things are described in natural language and how they're implemented in the database.
