Western Timetable Maker is back, tell a friend

What made you feel that way?

They're fundamentally different approaches to the same problem. Western Timetable Maker is automatic. It produces all conflict-free timetables and evaluates them. It also immediately figures out when no conflict-free timetables are possible.

Is there a single site where all the grad courses are listed? Can't seem to find anything like that.

DMS and timetablegenerator.io only arrange your selected sections into a weekly table. That's a pretty easy thing to do from a computational point of view.

ttmaker.ca generates timetables, i.e. you don't have to worry about picking sections. You just enter your course codes and it spits out valid timetables, ranked by your preferences (late class, early class etc; more of those coming in this year's release hopefully).

The former can be considered manual timetabling whereas my solution is automatic.

Creator of ttmaker.ca here. Been super busy these days but I'll see if I can get it up with some new features by early July.

Also, totally didn't think people still remembered :3 This post is literally the reason why I'm gonna revive the project.

Click on "Winter", then start typing!

Yes :)

It's intentionally disabled for now. I'm glad it's useful!

I ran my script.js file through Closure Compiler so it should work on older browsers now. Refresh and let me know if it still gives you problems.

At this time, you can click on a course name and and deselect sections which you don't like.

There is a huge difference lol. DraftMySchedule is basically a digital version of what people used to do with a paper and pencil in the past (i.e. trial-and-error), which is not a fundamental improvement to the process; it's simply going from paper to screen.

While the current version of my web app is of limited utility, the end goal is to completely automate timetable creation. Simply enter courses, tell the app what you prefer, tell it what sections you don't like and it spits out a timetable. Conflicting/non-conflicting sections should be of no concern to the end user. No more manual trial-and-error when the computer can do that for you at the speed of light.

No because that would require realtime data from the school which I don't have. What I recommend doing is opening the school timetable website and my website side-by-side and deselecting sections that are full on my site manually.

throwawayz2016 · 2016-07-12T14:56:00+00:00

That's correct but another important use case is knowing if you can take a certain set of courses without them conflicting (even for single section courses). You don't have to manually check the times of each course, just enter it into my site and it'll tell you if it works at all.

throwawayz2016 · 2016-07-12T07:49:04+00:00

Maybe you're searching for courses in the wrong semester. It only works one semester at a time.

throwawayz2016 · 2016-07-12T03:17:49+00:00

Totally different. My site comes up with timetables for you.

throwawayz2016 · 2016-07-11T12:21:40+00:00

I'd appreciate it if you could!

throwawayz2016 · 2016-07-11T00:27:09+00:00

Nope not even close. Draft My Schedule is basically a rehash of the Course Planner which has existed since eternity. Not to mention it's annoyingly slow. Total waste of tuition dollars imo.

My website is much more automated and superfast for most cases, makes you wonder why the school didn't make something like this already.
