Timetable for courses and teachers Description We want to establish the weekly timetable for two classes of
a college. The two classes have the same teachers, except
for mathematics and sport. All lessons have a duration of
two hours. All students of the same class attend exactly
the same courses. Every class may only have one two-hour
lesson per subject on a single day. Some teachers are only
available on certain days. Some time slots are reserved
for certain subjects. Further explanation of this example: 'Applications of optimization with Xpress-MP', Section 14.3 'Establishing a college timetable' (i3school.mos)
