Title: FET for Academic Recovery Courses
Post by: desk7 on June 24, 2019, 01:34:59 PM
Hi,
I'd like to use FET for Academic Recovery Courses Timetable. I'll make an example to clarify the situation. We have many classes. In each one some students will attend one OR more courses. In each course there are in general students from many classes.
I think to consider each student as a subgroup of his\her class.
Do you think it is the best way?
Thanks

Hello,

It is a good way to consider a real student = a FET subgroup. The only potential problem is the students manual data input. But if you can automate this, it will work easy.

You can give us an example of a timetable.

What does Academic Recovery Courses mean?

Thanks for answer.
I'm sorry for my awful English. "Academic Recovery Courses" is the literal translation from my language. In our school, if students get bad grades (but not very bad) at the end of school year, they have to follow additional courses (about the subjects they failed) during holidays to fill the gap.

About automation, do you mean I could write a csv file and then import it?

No problem.

You could attach here a document illustrating how the final timetable might look like (or send to my email, if it is private). But I hope anyway FET will work in your case.

Yes. It is very easy. Create a small file with years, groups, and subgroups in FET, and export the data as CSV. Then look into the students CSV file to see how it should look like.
