Course timetabling problem is one of the most common time scheduling problems that frequently encountered in universities and whole education institution& To eliminate this problem requires notable amount of labour and supply and in several education institutions, this scheduling is done manually but it doesn't occur as desired and causes to loss of time. Course timetabling problem is the assignment of courses to appropriate time periods, considering the constraint structures specific to the educational institutions. Constraints may depend on different factors such as the specific rules of the educational institution, capacity constraints, legal regulations, faculty and students' preferences. In this study, two new 0-1 integer programming models were proposed by considering preferences of the faculty members, and the models were tested with the application in a state university. In first proposed model, while the total gladness value is desired to be maximized by considering the time-slot preferences of lecturers, the conflict of courses is tried to be minimized. In the second proposed model. the differences in gladness value between lecturers are aimed to be minimized in addition to first model objectives. The proposed models were solved with GAMS 23.8.2 software, and alternatives that could be suitable for decision makers were presented.
