The assignment-to-days problem in a school time-table, a heuristic approach
TLDR
In this study a heuristic algorithm is proposed dealing with the assignment to individual days of the weekly requirements of the time-table requirements, using five British schools as examples.About:

A Survey of Automated Timetabling
TL;DR: A large number of variants of the timetabling problem have been proposed in the literature, which differ from each other based on the type of institution involved (university or school) and the types of constraints as mentioned in this paper.
