A key challenge was understanding Odoo's security layer. The module failed to install initially due to missing access rights. I solved this
by creating the security/ir.model.access.csv file to grant the base user group permissions to read, write, create, and delete records for
the new Student and Course models. This taught me that defining model permissions is a mandatory and critical step in Odoo development.
