## Class SuggestionSelection

- java.lang.Object
- - org.cpsolver.studentsct.heuristics.selection.BranchBoundSelection
  - - org.cpsolver.studentsct.online.selection.SuggestionSelection

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    NeighbourSelection<Request,Enrollment>, InfoProvider<Request,Enrollment>, SolverListener<Request,Enrollment>, OnlineSectioningSelection

      public class SuggestionSelection
      extends BranchBoundSelection
      implements OnlineSectioningSelection

  Online student sectioning algorithm based on the `BranchBoundSelection` of the batch solver. The selections adds the ability to provide required free times and sections and to prefer certain sections. If a course request has preferred sections, StudentWeights.PreferenceFactor parameter is used to penalize selection of a non-preferred section.
