Hi Andrea,
I assume that you are referring to the following text:-
"have time to cover this semester's twelve chapters"couvrir as a transitive verb takes the sense of wrapping or putting a lid on ..
parcourir transitive verb takes a sense of roaming / wandering / browsing / scanning
So to my mind, "couvrir" is most appropriate in the context of the lesson and I wouldn't expect to substitute"parcourir" given the meanings outlined above.
Bonne continuation
Jim
