<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning. I wish we could use Wengage's auto scheduler feature, but some of our electives are only one semester. Unfortunately, their system only recognizes full year classes (or at least that was the case as of last spring. Maybe they're
working on an update?) I would definitely try it if we had all full-year classes, but we're still entering individual schedules for now.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have found too many errors with automated so it is easiest to just hand enroll. :)

<p class="MsoNormal">We auto schedule and then go back through and double/triple check each individual schedule, making adjustments as needed.

<p class="MsoNormal">The big school I was part of with 800 in high school used autoscheduler after they did course request then we checked it with the matrix and individually as they came for enrollment!
