Details

• Notes
  • For your use only
• Ignore Too Far
  • By default (when unchecked), the solver prohibits placement of back to back classes taught by the same instructor in rooms that are more than a short distance apart
  • If checked, the solver will strongly discourage but not prohibit long distances between back to back classes of this instructor
    • Use with caution!
    • When your timetable is created, make sure you check whether the instructor for whom you chose to ignore too far distances has a feasible timetable (that the instructor can in fact teach the classes that are back to back)
