/**
 * Section all students using incremental branch &amp; bound (no unassignments). All
 * students are taken in a random order, for each student a branch &amp; bound
 * algorithm is used to find his/her best schedule on top of all other existing
 * student schedules (no enrollment of a different student is unassigned).
 *
