The Human and Global Limitations
There are two Maximum Classes per Day values, one is a global default and the other is on the teacher record. What value should you enter in each field to allow the teacher to teach as many classes as possible?
0!
If the Maximum Classes per Day constraint is left at zero on the teacher record, the teacher will be subject to the global default instead.
If the global default is left at 0 the Scheduler will schedule the teacher in as many blocks per day as necessary to ensure they teach all the classes assigned to them
You can batch-update all constraints in Axiom. True or False?
False!

The “Linked Classes” constraint can be used to make sure two or more separate classes have the exact same ___ (points for any one answer; bonus points if you get all three).
Teacher, Room, and Schedule.
Are Global Constraints Tied to a Specific Scenario? Or a Specific Run? True or False?
False! Global constraints are not tied to a specific Scenario. Instead, they apply to every Result that is run, regardless of which Scenario and Result is in.
The 'Linked Classes' constraint can be used for classes in different Courses, True or False?
True!
Each course has a Scheduling Method constraint that is used to tell the Scheduler which method to use when scheduling the sections of the course. What are the two options?
By Block or By Day
The Teacher Avoids constraint is a hard constraint, meaning the student will not be scheduled in the avoided teacher(s)’s classes, even if they are the only options left. True or False?
True, however, students can still be manually enrolled in a teacher’s class if a schedule user decides to place the student in the teacher’s class
There is a 'Teacher Avoids' and a 'Student Avoids' constraint. Both allow schools to set up specific student/teacher and student/student pairings that must never be scheduled. True or False?
False!
Scheduler - Student Avoid Constraint #166454
Why should a school set the Capacity constraint on a Room and the Max Students constraint on a class?
Setting the Capacity constraint on the Room and the Max Students constraint on the class will help avoid the problem of classes being scheduled in rooms that are too small
All Global Constraints need to be manually adjusted each year after you run the 'Reset Scheduler for New School Year' action menu procedure, True or False?
False, some constraints like the 'Grading Periods' constant carries over. The Scheduler pre-sets this configuration for you based on prior year schedules.
Under Course Constraints, the Rooms constraint can be used to override the default Subject/Room Pairing constraint, True or False?
True!
What do you need to do if you need to override the Subject/Room Pairing constraint for a particular course’s classes to use a specific room but keep the rest of the courses the same?
You can uncheck the “Inherit room settings from subject?” box and instead manually set the rooms where this course (and its classes) can meet.
There are two places where the 'Grading Periods' global constraint can be configured, where are they (be specific)?
The Individual Class Page in Scheduler
or
Scheduler Grading Periods tab found on the Class record in Axiom
Under Room Constraints, you can tell the Scheduler to avoid scheduling courses into a room during specific blocks, True or False?
False!

There are 4 things that should be kept in mind when configuring linked classes (i.e. classes that need to meet in the same lecture), name all 4:
