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.
