This program helps the user plan the new year Master Schedule Editor to avoid course conflicts.
- It is commonly reviewed after requests for the new year are entered and verified.
- It provides a count of students requesting a course, then lists other courses that this same group of students are requesting.
- For example, the report may show there are 89 students requesting Physics, and 78 of them also want Calculus. Therefore, it is important to plan these courses at different periods.
- Usually, this report is first run for Singletons, classes occurring only once in the Master Schedule, then run again for Doubletons, classes occurring twice in the Master Schedule, and then finally for all classes if needed.
