Student Project Allocation

Step-by-step demonstration

  1. Download example files⤵

  2. Unzip the example files you downloaded above. You’ll find three individual text files: lecturers.txt, projects.txt, and students.txt. You can compare the contents to the input format. These contain, respectively, the information concerning 20 hypothetical lecturers, offering 20 hypothetical projects, to 100 hypothetical students.

  3. Go to the allocation app page.

  4. Drag lecturers.txt onto the block that says “Drop lecturers file here”.

  5. After dropping the lecturers file, you’ll see a new block that says “Drop projects file here”. Drag projects.txt onto this block.

  6. After dropping the projects file, you’ll see a new block that says “Drop students file here”. Drag students.txt onto this block.

  7. After dropping the students file, the “Allocate” button should appear. Click the “Allocate” button to start the allocation process.

  8. Once the allocation process is completed, a “Download” button will appear. Click the “Download” button to download a CSV containing the allocation for every student. See the output format details to see how it is formatted. You should be able to open it in any software that supports CSV files (e.g. Excel).
