Hi Thomas,

I think you're over-estimating what SchoolTool can do with the above
information.  That is, SchoolTool does not generate a timetable or
schedule itself.  I think you want something like FET -
http://www.lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/ - or Tablix - http://www.tablix.org/

Once you know when the sections meet, you should be able to enter all
that into SchoolTool.  Getting that process into the documentation is
my goal for the week...
