Type of optimisation |
You can establish a guideline for the creation of clusters by choosing the type of optimisation .
Form similar clusters Optimisation starts with clusters which already exist, and tries to retain them as far as possible.
Similar courses in a cluster When creating clusters, optimisation tries to combine parallel courses to form one cluster wherever possible. The programme recognises parallel courses on the basis of similar course names. For example, with this setting the programme would try to place courses BIO1 , bio1 and bio2 in the same cluster.
Equal length courses/cluster When creating clusters, optimisation tries to schedule courses of equal length in one cluster wherever possible.
Form large clusters The program tries to combine as many courses as possible in to a single cluster while ignoring the number of periods/week and parallel courses. |
