My Course Listing Is Too Cluttered. How can I reduce the number of classes listed?

From BbWiki

If you are an instructor in many courses or course sections or are enrolled in many classes, your "My Courses" listing on the Home page may be cluttered with listings that you do not frequently access. To simplify the appearance of your "My Courses" section, click on the little pencil just to the right of "My Courses" and then uncheck "Display Course Name" for the courses that you do not need to have a shortcut to. You can also turn off announcements for each course if desired.

Note: All your courses will still be listed under the "Courses" tab at the top of the page.
