Course Scheduler
Can I schedule overlapping co-op courses with the same instructor?
Situation
Departments have multiple co-op courses and schedule the classes to be Mon-Fri the whole day preventing students taking other courses during a work term. However, Course Scheduler flags the instructor conflict since those co-op courses have the same instructor, creating a teaching conflict. The instructor is inputted so they can input the grades for the students end of the term so it is crucial to have they added.
Solution
Our team is currently looking into this use case for course scheduling. In the meantime, please use the guide below as a workaround.
