Thanks, Liviu, that is making me hopeful!

Hi Liviu Lalescu,

Sorry, I did not explain well.
The Gdoc was an example of the courses we have. I wanted to avoid problems by sharing the direct courses. So I made a minimalist example. We have different amounts of courses which can represent each module. They are mostly at different times. In the example, I named four different courses which could represent Module "Introduction 1". Similarly, there are several courses which could represent Module "Topic 1 Semester 1".

I will have longer lists in the real modulation, with 10-20 course possibilities for each Module. Since I am waiting on the feedback from different faculties, I do not have that yet and have sent the simplified version above.
Would that still make the overflow hours necessary?

You said: "Add the required days per week and hours, but also add more "overflow" hours so that the entire list of courses has enough slots."

If I understand you currently, you think that I could use FET for making my schedule/course selection despite its unusual approach, right?
That would be amazing!

Best,
Goku

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

I am doing this for the first time, so no previous example from my side exists.

This would be an example setup.

Does this help, or what other info would you need?

Hi all,
I am searching for software to help me figure out if a certain study track is doable. I was hoping FET could help me. Before I deep dive into learning all the details, I wanted to make sure one of our requirements can be done with FET and hope you can help me with this.

We have a set of modules to be studied within three semesters. Those models can be represented by various different courses, which are already planned by other departments that our students can join.
I have no influence on their timing. I have a list of all possible courses within those modules. I would need FET to filter a list of possible courses that do not overlap within one semester but show that all modules can be studied by exemplifying the specific courses FET selected. So, all times would be pre-set, but different options for the respective models are possible, and I need only one.

Can I accomplish this task with FET? And if so, where would you suggest I start? In my perception, this is a bit different than the normal introductory videos I saw, which focus on optimal scheduling while, in my case, optimal selection is needed.

Thanks for any feedback and suggestions!
