Colijn, Anton; And Others
College and University, v70 n2 p82-88,90 Win 1995
Microcomputer-managed examination scheduling at the University of Calgary (Canada) has two stages. The first uses mathematical methods to create a timetable that is conflict-free, uses a minimum number of periods, and minimizes the number of students with multiple exams in one day. An interactive stage allows the examination officer to accommodate late requests and special circumstances. (Author/MSE)
