Direct Known Subclasses:

InstructorBackToBackConflicts

public class StudentBackToBackConflicts
extends ExamCriterion

Number of back-to-back student conflicts. I.e., number of cases when an exam is attended by a student that attends some other exam at the previous ExamPeriod.prev() or following ExamPeriod.next() period. If isDayBreakBackToBack() is false, back-to-back conflicts are only considered between consecutive periods that are of the same day.

Back-to-back student conflict weight can be set by problem property Exams.BackToBackConflictWeight, or in the input xml file, property backToBackConflictWeight.
