Jokes on us
I recently went back to the UOP, and haven’t had any troubles until this class. I have to say I was a little disappointed in our IT department. They had been working on the site to make it better, but that didn’t exactly work the way they wanted it to work. Suddenly many students were unable to get into their classroom, and same for the Professors. How nice, we had a final in my class along with the final presentation which went horrible I think.
I am a good student and had everything ready to be submitted well before the due date. On Saturday morning I logged on to check to see where the learning team was with the paper. Couldn’t get on, I wasn’t to worried because I figured by the time I get home and ready to do homework it will be back up. Wrong again. I got home, check it was still down, this was early afternoon. Okay I will try again later, so I tried again around 9 or so, and still down. I wasn’t worried because by this time they had a message for the students and facalty who were being affected, and said it should be back up by the next morning. I wasn’t worried, I figured I would just leave my assignment wait. I was getting anxious about the final and not being able to get to the study guide. I am sure I didn’t do so well on my final but that okay because the overall classroom I have done well. Maybe I did better then I thought but doubt it.
What should have happened is they should have had IT first do a test run before running it for the entire college, now we don’t know if they can recover all of our assignments. Okay no big deal I have it saved up.
Overall I been happy with the UOP, I think there professors are wonderful, the class setting I love. Most of my classes have been small, which makes learning easy. I think I might have had one class there with 12 people which was a large class. I like the format because I am required to learn the material for myself and not just puke out what the professor has told me.
One nice thing about the Texts we are required to have they are mostly all on line, and what’s not on line then I can get from their student store, or Amazon books. The last time I was at Border I saw one of our books we need for every single class, to be honest I haven’t used it that much but I still refer it to occasionally.
I am not angry with the school and to be honest I enjoy the class I been in. I don’t really have any complaints other then just make sure to test run things first, then release it. I do like the new setup they have it easier to get to things while on line in class. It will be nice to have everything together, so I just have to click on their little tab things.
