Default purpose of subform?

working on form to select records from 2 tbls and create a new record based
on selected items in a 3rd tbl.

tblStudents(list of students)
tblEnglish (list of english courses)
tblMath (list of math courses)
....(one table for each course topic)
tblStudentSubjects (list of students w/ selected subject)

main form (tblStudents)
-cbo to display and select a student from tblStudents
subform(tblStudentSubject or should i be using tblMath, etc.?)
-cbo for each course to display and select from tblMath, tblEnglish, etc.
-is it necessary to use a sub form for this?

-is it appropriate to use a btn to create a new record in tblStudentSubject
when the appropriate student and course is selected?
