Timetabling

Discover the essential scheduling parameters for timetabling in academic settings. This guide covers CRN (section) specific parameters, including group meetings, block offs for labs, and scheduling ties. Learn how to manage simultaneous classes, ensure proper setup and teardown time, and respect instructor mobility. Understand that while some scheduling specifics are automatic, instructor availability is coordinated by department chairs. Moreover, the timing of lectures and labs can be crucial for student success, requiring careful consideration of daylight and other conditions.

  1. Timetabling Scheduling Parameters

  2. Scheduling Parameters • Scheduling Parameters are CRN (section) specific Parameters on the system. • Examples include: • Groups – CRNs/Deliveries meeting same time, same room, same instructor(s) • Block Offs – setup/teardown time for labs • Ties • Deliveries meet on different days or with a day in between • CRNs (same course) scheduled on different days • Lecture before Lab (same course)

  3. Scheduling Parameters • Scheduling Parameters do not include instructor availability. • Instructor availability will be provided by the chair.

  4. Scheduling Parameters: Examples • The section must meet at an off-pattern time because it requires additional time for setup and teardown of equipment. • The section must meet at an off-pattern time because the students need to warm up and cool down after dancing. • Section 001 must be scheduled back-to-back with Section 007 in the same room because the instructor has a mobility issue and cannot move from room to room easily. • The lecture delivery of this section must be scheduled before the lab delivery. • The section must meet during the day because it relies on daylight for surveying activities.

  5. Timetabling: Simulation • Scheduling parameters will be entered via the DCU as time and room requirements while you are completing your data entry for Spring 2011 schedule build. • No other changes are required for simulation.

  6. Time Requirements: Simulation Example

  7. Room Requirements

  8. Timetabling: Production • Once the process is ready for production (tentatively in April 2011 for Spring 2012 schedule build), pattern requests will be entered. Days/times will not be entered. • Priority/Exclusive Room Usage governed by Principles of Timetabling. • Co-scheduling remains unchanged.
