You'll have to set Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays separately. I know, this is kind of clunky and we all hope it will be updated soon.
Click on Frequency >> Event Frequency = Daily/Every 7 days >> Set Ends After XX times. You will have to do this for the Mondays, then for the Wednesdays, then Fridays.
When you look at the schedule calendar, it shows 8 am to 6 pm. There is a little earlier link at the top and a later link at the bottom to view times outside 8-6. But the calendar view defaults to the 8a-5p block of time and you can't change that. If by "24 hr view" you mean military time; "No" to that too.
An event can be almost anything. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the variety of choices. I use my calendar to announce due dates for assignments, tests, discussions, academic calendar items like drop dates etc. It is just another layer to help keep students on target -- the start and stop dates for quizzes & tests and assignment also appear in those sections.
You can have the events over multiple days by choosing the frequecy button to add more days for the event.
Calendar fields are for adding additional items that are not already set up in Etudes -- some instructors may have a use for them while others won't.
The steps you are listing are not complete.
Here is a complete list of the steps:
You don't need an end date, but there is no way around the start date. Notice the * in front of the Date and Start Time -- anything with a * is required and the program won't allow you to leave it out.
Set the frequency of your event to end on the 21st, so that the 20th is included. This limitation is due to the fact that there is no place to set the end time; therefore, an extra day is needed so that the end date is inclusive.
