Class Scheduling Project - Objectives

Redpath Sunning

  • Vigilance in recording centrally the use of all instructional rooms on campus for future planning purposes
  • Identify a software tool which can:
    • optimize course choice for students
    • optimize the use of space and time (rather than simply scheduling rooms)
    • respect the pedagogical needs of the course
    • incorporate the realities of physical proximities of various departments and buildings
    • change schedules to integrate new course/programs without intensive manual effort
    • Store accurate information on when individual professors are available to teach
  • Engage academic units in developing policy and practices for class and room scheduling
  • Enhance the room database to ensure that all pedagogically relevant attributes are captured.
