    Abstract: In this study, researchers present a hybridisation of Tabu-based 
  technique and Non-Linear Great Deluge algorithm applied on course timetabling 
  problems. This approach uses a short term memory in Tabu-based technique in 
  order to improve the searching process. The Tabu list exercised is in the ranges 
  of two to eight in length. The experiment results demonstrate that this hybrid 
  approach is capable to produce competitive results when compared with others 
  in the literature.
