      public class RoomSizePenalty
      extends ExamCriterion

  Cost for using room(s) that are too big. I.e., a difference between total room size (computed using either `ExamRoom.getSize()` or `ExamRoom.getAltSize()` based on `Exam.hasAltSeating()`) and the number of students `Exam.getSize()`.
  A weight for room size penalty can be set by problem property Exams.RoomSizeWeight, or in the input xml file, property roomSizeWeight).
  The difference function can be made polynomial by using Exams.RoomSizeFactor parameter (defaults to 1.0). The value of this criteria is then cubed by the power of this room size factor. This is to be able to favor a room swap between two exams at the same period, in which a smaller exam takes a smaller room. To do this, set Exams.RoomSizeFactor to a number bigger than one that is close to one (e.g., 1.05).
