As discussed with @TryExceptElse, we will move to an easier to traverse schema for the database. As we move away from a course first system, we will decouple from the section data being buried under their departments and course keys.

Comparison between old and new format:

.
├── dept
│   ├── course
│   │   ├── section 

.
├── section

This switch allows for the easy filtering of section data like teacher, time, and room data. Advanced multi-step queries can be constructed using this method as well. Additionally, the new data format will not require tables to be used for each department.
