This Python script assigns ENSC students to specialty tracks based on their grades, track wishes and track capacities.
Input data (student names, grades and track wishes) is loaded from a CSV file. Students ranking and track assignments are written to CSV files.
Algorithm goes as follow:
- For each student, a weighted average of their grades during past semesters is computed.
- These average grades are used to sort students by merit (best first).
- In that order, students are assigned to the highest non-full track in their wishes.
