- +
- +
-The courses in the ellipsis lookup are sorted by the ranking in an algorithm: from +
-the least number of sections and greatest number of conflicts within the number of +
-sections, to the greatest number of sections and number of conflicts, from greatest +
-to least, within the number of sections. +
- +
- +
-For each course, the course number and title, number of conflicts, and the number +
-of sections placed are displayed. (The lower the number of conflicts, the more difficult +
-to place.) If all sections of a course are placed, the message "Placed" is displayed. +
-Otherwise, the number of sections placed out of the number of sections available +
-is displayed (e.g., 0 of 1). +
- +
- +
-The algorithm ranks the most difficult courses to place first, but any course can +
-be selected for placing. +

-the row. +

- +
-Note:  Meeting time 1 cannot be deleted. At least one meeting time is required for +
-each section. +
- +
- +
-Click Save. +
- +
- +
-This will update the Courses to be Placed dialog box with information about any sections +
-that are now placed. It will also automatically retrieve the course which MSALGO +
-determines is the next course to be placed. +
- +
- +
-Note:  You can save data at any time while you are on the Place tab. +
- +
- +
-Click Next Crs to Place to retrieve the course which MSALGO determines should be +
-placed next. This will be the first course which is not completely placed that MSALGO +
-determines has the highest priority for placement. +
- +
- +
-A section is considered placed if meeting time 1 has a semester code, beginning period, +
-and ending period. The information must be saved. +
- +
- +
-All sections of a course must be placed for MSALGO to consider the course completely +
-placed. +
