E.g. if one professor has a lecture from 1st till 7th week and other professor from 8th till 14th week choose one of the following options:
1. Create another course with second lecturer and second term of execution.
2. Create another course type with the similar name (for example lectures, add one space in the end of the world lecture etc). So you will have two course types.
Tick first lecture, insert first professor and first term of execution.
Then tick second lecture, insert second professor and second term of execution.
If you want that the lectures will take part in the whole term at the same day and hour insert the lectures manually (and lock it).
| · | A group can be selected to only one turn (you can not select it to more turns). |
a) E.g. if two professors have the same lectures in different days (e.g. one in Monday in the other in Tuesday) and therefore
you have to select all groups to both professors choose one of the following options:
1. Create two courses and then select first professor for first course and second professor for second course.
2. Create another course type with the similar name (for example lectures, add one space in the end of the world lecture etc). So you will have two course types.
Tick first lecture, insert first professor and select all groups.
Then tick second lecture, insert second professor and again select all groups.
Because automatic generation can schedule both professors in the same day we suggest you to insert lecture in
the timetable manually (and lock it).
b) E.g. if lecture is taught in two turns and students alone select their turn (so you have to select all groups in both
turns) choose one of the following options:
1. Create two courses and select all groups for both courses.
2. Create another course type with the similar name (for example lectures, add one space in the end of the world lecture etc). So you will have two course types.
Tick first lecture, insert a professor and select all groups.
Then tick second lecture, insert the same professor and again select all groups.
