I don't understand what data you're looking for. You can use a combination of a for or while loop to generate the data. You can also use DatePart and DateName to get specific information about dates and times. Please elaborate on your desired cursor and we'll go from there.

You should have one table with the days of the week. Another table with the courses. And another table with what courses are offered on what day. Then given your sample data you would want to pivot the data but this would probably best be done in a query because you may have 6 classes on monday, 2 on wednesday, and 0 on saturday. The number of columns can't vary based on row unless you want to fill the undeeded columns with null but then you're starting to talk about bad design.
