Automatically Assign Students to Activities

[Andrés Chandía]

The scenario:
I give FET this information:
Year = Big Group of 120 Students
Grup = Group of 60
Subgroup = Every student name (John C, Berta D, Alison J. Derek M. etc.)

Then
Main activities divided into 4 subactivities:
MA = main Activity - SA = Sub Activity

MA1 = 60 Students - SA1.1 - SA1.2 - SA1.3 - SA1.4
MA2 = 50 Students - SA2.1 - SA2.2 - SA2.3 - SA2.4
MA3 = 60 Students - SA3.1 - SA3.2 - SA3.3 - SA3.4
MA4 = 45 Students - SA4.1 - SA4.2 - SA4.3 - SA4.4

We know who is at each MA, but we need to assign the students to every SA, we can not just divide the group and assign them, because there are certain restriction that must be respected, like for instance, SA1.1 is at the same time of SA2.1 and so on, so we need to spread the students along the SA's, I mean is there a whay that fet tells where to set every student.

The FET program cannot choose students for (sub)activities.

You could choose each student for each activity. Eventually, you could design additional groups.

Example: Y1 ( G123 (S1, S2, S3), G12 (S1, S2), G13 (S1, S3) ) (overlapping groups).

If am not sure you understand when to split an activity into (sub)activities. This is intended for an activity having more components per week.

Actually I have tell you sub activities but they are really set as separate activities, this is one point, now I don't understand if it's more reliable to work with sub activities or not (is there a way to convert activities in sub activities of a main activity?)

What would I get with this?, sorry I don't understand where are you pointing to with this.

No, there is no direct way.

You could choose each student for each activity. Eventually, you could design additional groups.
Example: Y1 ( G123 (S1, S2, S3), G12 (S1, S2), G13 (S1, S3) ) (overlapping groups).

You could make more groups, even if they are overlapping, to work easier with sets of students.

Any way, this is not the point, I would like to assign students automatically to the different courses.

Some users wanted to do automatic teachers allocation, and I told them that maybe then can consider a real teacher = a FET room, and use rooms constraints. Maybe you can consider a real students set = a FET room.
