Specifying science subject within a block

[ablizzard]

Hi all,

 

First post! First-time timetabler this year using Nova-T6 - I've got the timetable all sorted and am happy with it so just on little tweaks now and I'm trying to fix an issue that I'm not sure is fixable!

 

In Y10 and 11, we have Core Science time, built as a standard block, and then extra option science time for those who have selected Triple Science as an option.

 

Basically, there are seven sets in the core science block, where two of them are triple science classes. So these triple classes have six lessons a fortnight in the core science block and an additional four lessons a fortnight in the option block but are taught as a triple science class throughout the ten lessons. We have three teachers teaching each triple class, one for each of the sciences and it all works well.

 

However, where it doesn't work well is when we have to do reports. Whoever is set up as the lead teacher has their name on all the reports, despite only teaching them for one of the sciences.

 

What I'd like to do is somehow specify which lessons are Bio (3 a fortnight), Chem (4 a fortnight) and Phys (3 a fortnight) and assign teachers to these so that when we run reports to send home, the teacher who is teaching the specific science is named.

 

Is this possible somehow with the current set-up or do I need to change it somehow? I was hoping there would be some way to create a sub-level or something within the block where I can specify which lessons are designated to which specific subject and then link that with a teacher.

 

Any advice would be great!

 

Thanks

Andrew

Hi, we have a similar situation although we ditched the part where Triple Science students have additional lessons in an option block. However, I think the same applies: we have a block where most classes are down as Sc6 but the Triple classes are down as Bi2-Ch2-Ph2 - see the image from Nova attached.

 

This means that your Triple classes can have separate Chemistry, Physics and Biology reports with the correct teacher name on them.
