Title: Using FET to schedule the School Exams Calendar
Post by: Michel on October 07, 2009, 09:19:00 AM
I tried to use FET to schedule the School Exam Calendar.  We have in an academic year, 3 semesters, and each semester has different number of weeks.  Usually they sum up to 30 weeks. Each class has different exams every week.
I tried to use FET and considered 1 Calendar week as one FET day, and one Calendar day as 1 FET period.
FET has only 28 days and it is mentioned on the site that this can be increased.

My suggestion is to increase to 52, or cater for weekly scheduling.
Thank you

It is easy to increase the number of FET days. Weekly scheduling cannot be done for the present FET algorithm.

I can give you advice on how to increase the number of FET days, it is not difficult, you'll have to compile FET, so read the README file on how to do that. If you can compile FET, ask me for advice on how to increase the FET days.

I cannot make the official FET have 52 days, because of memory consumption.
