FET in ukrainian university.

Hello Liviu. I have few qustions about using FET in Ukrainian (Ternopil) university.

Distribution of the academic year into semesters and a semester of study weeks. How to take into account that we have determined the number of hours in the subject per semester. For example - given the subject "Marketing", the number of hours per semester - 96, as set in the FET?

In FET, you can do a weekly schedule. Maximum 28 days per "week", and maximum 60 "hours" per day. You have to organize your schedule into weeks, to be able to use FET. Otherwise, the whole algorithm must be rewritten, which is very difficult.

You can split an activity into 10 sub-activities.

Hello Liviu! I formed a timetable for a single department, or can form a schedule for the other faculty, including employment of teachers and rooms.

Sorry, but what do you mean? You can of course do timetable for another faculty.

I mean, when I formed a timetable for a single department, or be taking into consideration the employment of this faculty, to create the schedule for other faculty. (Example - The teacher works at 2 faculty)

You have 2 variants:

1) Make timetable for each institution separately. First institution I1, then I2. If in I1 teacher T works Monday 8-10, Tuesday 10-14, etc., then for I2 data (file) add constraint teacher T not available Monday 8-10, Tuesday 10-14, etc.

2) Make timetable for all institutions in a single file. Consider adding buildings space constraints.

Hello Liviu! I have a problem. In my university work with fortnightly activities (doubles and odd weeks). Can I generate timetable as next form
                       First week
monday      Activities (teacher, student, room)
time
8-00       A1 (T1,S1,R1)
9-00       A2 (T2,S2,R2)
10-00     A3 (T3,S3,R3)      

                       Second week
monday      Activities (teacher, student, room)
time
8-00         A4 (T1,S1,R1)
9-00         gap
10-00       A3 (T3,S3,R3)
 

[Liviu Lalescu]

You need to make A1, A2, A3 weekly and for the second week just ignore A2 in the timetable. This is the procedure I recommend in FAQ.

Hello Liviu! Are you have FET version 4.... - latest version before FET 5.0.0.. In my university timetable organized with fortnightly activity (odd and even calender weeks)? I read about fortnightly activity in FAG but I don't know can I add fortnightly activity in FET version 5.11.0. I have not found this function in FET 5.11.0. Thanks for your help.

Because the algorithm changed, I had to remove fortnightly activities. You cannot add them directly. Instead, use the trick above.

Hallo. What is "f*g"?
