Calculation method

Calculation method

Allocated sessions by subject

Apply capped largest-remainder allocation by relative priority; redistribute after a subject reaches its requested session count. Input order breaks fractional ties.

Uncovered requested sessions by subject

Requested sessions − allocated sessions, per subject.

Allocated study hours

Allocated sessions × minutes per session / 60.

Unallocated available sessions

Available sessions − total allocated sessions; zero-weight subjects are not allocated.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Allocates identical study slots to declared demand and relative priorities. It does not select the best learning method or place sessions into a real calendar.
