allocate+ is way easier to use. MUTTs is confusing.
I've recommended to other people to make a makeshift timetable on word of excel and as you go along allocating your timetable preferences, chuck your no.1 preferences in your makeshift timetable so you can visualise what your classes would be. That way you can also muck around and try avoid the high capacity classes where you might end up being screwed over.
If there are only a few lectures to choose from , and heaps of tutes to choose from, I'd recommend allocating your lectures first and working around these.
This is what I did, pretty much.
2 Questions;
1) How do we know what contact hours we have to do?
2) With Allocate, I have clashes? Would this be right - ie the lectures are auto-allocated, but the tutorials run on the same day but at the same time or half way through the lecture?
1) Count them. Add lecture time with tute time per subject.
2) You might, yes. But A+ will remove preferences that end up clashing and give you a clash-free timetable, pretty much all the time. You might have tutorials from other units clash onto lecture times from a given unit, as people can and do take different combinations of units and the timetablers can only accommodate for the majority. You should try and avoid selecting the tutes with clashed times, but the A+ system will ensure that you don't get allocated into those tutes.
You will also be able to manually allocate yourself into tutes after the sort is run - people are going to be moving around their times too so you may be able to snatch a spot in that time block you really wanted. Basically, hover around the system like hungry vultures. That being said, the chance of one happening in a 'good' time slot is like getting a 2nd round VTAC offer.
