Description

This looks like the same issue as we mentioned before to the RO with CS2100 also happened to CS1010S. We know this is caused by lectures moving venues, and if the RO/CSIT can't fix it on their side, we can still automatically detect the clashing lessons can be in the scraper.

I think this is worth perusing given how common this is and how popular modules like CS1010S and CS2100 are affected.

Research direction

The issue points to the scraper as the entry point and identifies venue-moving lessons in CS1010S and CS2100 as examples. Start by tracing how those lessons become timetable entries and reproduce the duplicate case. Done means clashing lessons caused by venue changes are detected or merged without duplicate timetable entries.
