thanks for the amazingly fast reply  

I think, as you said, the way I'm doing it is wrong.

right now, I'm putting 1 activity split into 5 subactivities, and another single activity to get 6.  I've also tried 2+2+2 each with 1 activity split into 2 with duration 1.  From what I understand, that's not the right way to do it.  Instead, I should split into 5 with the first one duration 2.  I'll try that and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the great program.

Hi,

I have the following problem:

let's say I have a class with 2 sections, let's call it 7A and 7B.  My subject is Math (of course, the schedule is much more complicated and is full, but this is what we need here).  Now each section has 6 periods of math over 5 days with the same teacher.
The way I created the activities for each section was 2+2+2.  I also tried 5+1.  I specified min 1 day with 99%, and consecutive if same day.  What's happening when I get the schedule is I'm getting something like this all the time:

Period           1       2       3
Teacher1     7A     7B     7A  ......

on the same day, I'm getting a split in the two periods for 7A.  Is it becausa FET is getting one period from the first activity, and another from the second activity (one from the first 2, and the other from the second 2?)  I tried adding min n days constraints between these activities as well with 100%, so that each of the  2+2+2 can't be on the same day, but that didn't seem to help.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Note: schedule is filled all week.
