Pedagogical weight

To limit during the same day the number of course hours of subjects said to be “hard”, you definite weights for every subject and set a maximum weight limit for the day or half-day.

Specify the pedagogical weights for every subject

1. Go to the tab Timetable > Subjects >Pedagogical weights.
2. In the list on the left, select the classes for which the pedagogical weights will pertain.
3. Click in the column Weight to allocate a weight to each subject (from 0 to 10) or use the multi-selection via the command Modify > Pedagogical weight.
4. In the bottom frame, you can limit the weight of the days, mornings and afternoons. These limits are valid for all the institution’s classes.

See the weight calculations in the timetables

1. Go to the tab Timetable > Classes/Students >  Timetable.
2. EDT displays three figures on the bottom of each day: the pedagogical weights for the morning, afternoon and the day. When the weights exceed the defined limit, they are displayed in red.
