XSL Style Sheet:

   <?xml version="1.0"?> 
   <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
       <xsl:template match="course">
          <STUDENTS>
             <xsl:apply-templates select="student"/>
          </STUDENTS>
       </xsl:template>

       <xsl:template match="student">
          <STUDENT NAME="{name}"
              HW1="{hw1}"
              HW2="{hw2}"
              PROJECT="{project}"
              FINAL="{final}"/> <xsl:text> 
          </xsl:text>
       </xsl:template>
   </xsl:stylesheet>
