Good day everyone! I wonder what is the time complexity of FET's algorithm?

My goal is:
To evaluate the FET's generated schedule against the actual schedule created manually by my teacher.

• First Semester Schedule

My teacher wants to compare his created schedule vs. FET's generated schedule. He wants to know the accuracy/similarity score of FET's output. However, I do not know which software evaluation tool I should use to perform this task.

Hello developers. FET is a big help to our university regarding generating sample schedules/programs. It is helpful to me as a student and our university if these features I suggest will be considered. Thank you very much.

• One-time import and generate - the user will import the dataset and generate it once, and FET will remember it even FET will close.
• Teacher's favorite subjects - the allocation of subjects to a teacher is base on how many times he/she handles it. For example, if the teacher taught Math many times in the past schedules, FET will assign Math to this teacher for the next generation of schedules.
• Teachers have a maximum number of subjects to handle.
• FET will suggest hiring more teachers if all teachers cannot handle more subjects because of suggestion number 3.

I am a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology student who wants to use FET as a capstone project in our program. After searching an algorithm in the past month, I found this FET project and its forum. This project is incredible because it is faster than a genetic algorithm. However, I am not good at software, but I can write and understand simple codes. I feel comfortable and happy with the hardware. I hope I can do my capstone project with your help, fellow members, and admins. I still have 1 and a half years to finish it.

Our university constraints  are:

• Assigning a subject (Math, Advanced Database, Data Structure ) to teach by the instructor is based on  his/her  specialization (Networking, Programming, Multimedia, etc.)
• The teaching load of an instructor is a max of 21 units. For instance, Data Structure is 3 units, so he/she needs more 18 units.
• If the IT students have an agricultural subject, then their instructor should be in Agricultural College (Different colleges in one university)

Our adviser suggested that:

• The system can identify if the instructor is overload or underload units.
• The system can suggest that if the instructor's teaching load is full, the subject should assign to the other instructor based on his/her specialization.
• The system can suggest hiring more instructors if all the existing instructors have a full teaching load and there are still available subjects to handle by the instructor.
• The inputs of the system may be based on historical data (schedules in the past 1 or 2 years). That determines the favorite and favorable Time, Space, and Activity for the entities.

I installed and tested FET, and it is fast and easy to understand its basic functions, but I do not yet explore its full functionalities.
I want to know if FET 6.0.2 can solve the constraints and perform the suggestions above.
Also, I want to know if it is okay for the developers of FET to use and modify their existing project as my capstone project for our university. Thank you very much.
