Hi, I'm new to the forum!

I'm trying to randomize a group of 32 students into workshop classes with 4 students per <nobr style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">class</nobr> (8 groups total) over a 4-day period. Each 4 student group will take one class in the morning and then one in the afternoon. It's okay if the groups stay together for the morning and afternoon class, but I'm trying to make it where the students get put into different 4-student groups the next 3 days.

The issue that I'm having is I don't know how to make it to ensure no
<nobr style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">student</nobr> takes the same class. Each student needs to take all 8 classes.

Any suggestions/advice?

Thanks in advance!
