FAQs

1. What does this timetable generator calculate?

It builds a weekly class schedule, totals weekly and term contact hours, estimates room utilization, and checks conflicts involving rooms, instructors, and student groups.

2. Can it detect timetable clashes automatically?

Yes. It flags overlapping sessions on the same day when they use the same instructor, room, or student group.

3. Why do meetings per week matter?

Meetings per week multiply each session duration. This produces realistic weekly teaching load and term contact hour totals for academic planning.

4. How is room utilization estimated?

The tool divides total scheduled weekly room hours by the available weekly hours across used rooms. The result is shown as a percentage.

5. Can I use it for multiple departments?

Yes. Change the department and semester fields, then enter the relevant class rows for that timetable version.

6. Does it support labs, tutorials, and seminars?

Yes. Each row includes a session type field, so you can classify lectures, labs, tutorials, workshops, practicals, seminars, or online sessions.

7. What should I do if no result appears?

Check that every used row has a course code, title, instructor, room, group, day, start time, and duration. Incomplete rows are skipped.

8. Can I export the finished timetable?

Yes. After generating the timetable, use the CSV or PDF buttons to save the schedule for sharing, printing, or recordkeeping.
