Morphology
The meaning 'a regularly scheduled class that is part of a larger course' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'course' (a series of lectures) with 'session' (a scheduled meeting). This noun+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Course session comes from joining course ('a series of classes') and session ('a meeting or class'). So a course session is one planned class that is part of a larger course.
