When am I going to have the time to do all this? What is Optimization? Like last year, we will use E*Value Optimization Scheduling (EVOS). Your schedule is based on the preferred time frames that you select for each course. e*Value will systematically compile a schedule for each student taking into account everyones preferences and available time frames. Its goal is to fulfill the highest ranked preferences across the board rather than for any individual student.
