 * I get this message when trying to activate the plugin:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_event() (previously declared in /var/www/html/
   wordpress/wp-content/plugins/eventON/eventon-core-functions.php:654) in /var/
   www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-course-manager/wpcm_db_access.php on
   line 243
 * Is it because I it is trying to access the Events folder which is already set
   up by my calendar plugin? Is there a way around this?

 * I would rather say that the eventON plugin has the exact same function name as
   this plugin, therefor it interfers with it.
    Two possible ways of solving it:
   1. Remove the eventON plugin (or change it to some other plugin). 2. IF you know
   how, then change the function that interfers with this plugin.
