I am sitting here in the computer lab at ITT Tech, waiting for my next class to start. I've been thinking about the silly program they use to enroll us students into classes. I call it silly, because it is only as smart as the person who programmed it. I am a bit concerned about the fact that we are all put into classes that most of us either need to switch out of, or find a different time that it is offered. I'm assuming (yeah, I know, ass=u&me) that the teachers give their availability, then the roadmap decides where we all are in our degree and what courses are the next for us to take. Then it plops so many of us into said class until it is full, or if there aren't enough, then drops the class from the schedule.
This is where my problem is.
(I started as a part time student I almost typed stupint by accident, is that stupid and student mixed together?)
I started part time my first few quarters, and then I have been re-arranging the given schedule so I attend one day a week instead of three days a week, one class a day. Then they stopped offering afternoon classes. So then I did two in a day and one online, or two online and one on campus. Now we're getting to the nitty gritty and I'm wondering how many other students are in this same shuffle, and more because the program doesn't know what's going on rather than actual schedule conflicts. Not all classes for a certain degree are taught each quarter. Which is fine, but I want to know how they know which are going to be taught, and which aren't? Is that also left up to said program? If it is, that is horse shit. Am I the only one seeing the flaw in this, or the only one who doesn't know how easy it is to just leave things the way they are?
End Rant.
