Exam Scheduling Problem

We introduce the exam scheduling problem where we wish to schedule exams for thousandsof students over just two weeks. The desire to formulate a model to schedule exams comes fromthe abundance of students, like ourselves, that often complain that the 1nal exams are scheduledtoo close together. We have found out that many students may have multiple exams on thesame day, which can be very stressful for students. There are also extreme circumstances wherestudents are scheduled to have two exams during the same time. Students often cannot performto their best ability when faced with a stressful exam schedule. Therefore, we wish to reduce thestress of students during exam time by maximizing their study time between scheduled examsthrough our model.
