Course Timetabling: Student Online Conflicts
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- added an experimental criterion that tries to minimize cases where a student has an online and in-person class on the same day
- online classes are identified by a regular expression matching the room name and set in the StudentConflict.OnlineRoom parameter
  - it defaults to (?i)ONLINE|
  - classes without a room are considered online when the parameter matches a blank string
  - if a class has multiple rooms, all rooms must be online for the class to be considered online
- the criterion is weighted by the Comparator.StudentOnlineConflictWeight parameter, defaults to one half of the Comparator.StudentConflictWeight
- to enable add org.cpsolver.coursett.criteria.additional.StudentOnlineConflict into General.AdditionalCriteria parameter
