A MULTI-OBJECTIVE DECISION MAKING MODEL FOR CLASS SELECTION PROBLEM: A CASE STUDY

Year 2016, Volume: 5 , 145 - 150, 01.09.2016

Abstract

Educational institutions generally present
a timetable to students in which the scheduling of courses and classes have
been arranged before. Generating an appropriate timetable in which all classes
do not conflict each other is quite difficult. Students use this timetable to
choose the courses and classes according to their requirements. A selected
course class may be conflict with another selected one in timetable. Therefore,
students are generally forced in selecting the classes without course conflict or
minimum and acceptable course conflict. In this study a computer aided system
for engineering students of Industrial Engineering Department at Gazi
University is proposed to define the classes for selected courses. The system
takes the courses from users and presents them appropriate classes by using a
mathematical model in background. The aims of the mathematical model are
minimizing the course conflict, assigning student to classes desired by
department and minimizing total days in which the student takes courses.
Consequently, an easy way is proposed to students in selecting course classes
by improving a multi-objective decision making model and a case study is
applied.
