My school, in all of its brilliance has decided to use Sungard as its student portal / SISA system and WebCT as its courseware software for a number of years. I've hated sungard since the first day I set eyes on this god forsaken frothy turd frappe. Finding classes is a bitch unless you have the entire schools CRNs memorized, it is only up from 8am until 12am (8 hours of downtime per day for "backup and system maintenance") and entirely down on sundays for, what I can only imagine is set aside so that the servers can engage in an epic cluster fuck of epic proportions. Lets not forget about all the unscheduled down time (like any of the other 16 hours of the day that it never works correctly...)
I'm suppose to get e-mail through the student portal, important announcements from instructors, reminders of current events...but all I tend to recieve is large amounts of homosexual orgy porn, So either my institution of learning has gone in a radically different direction and has failed to inform me of the change or the school missed the chapter on filtering spam, and because the campus doesn't look like a gay pride frat house I'll assume it is the latter.
And then there are the joys of WebCT, seriously geocities is more robust and stable then this loose stool trying to resemble shit...And in the brillance of the college they MANDATED that instructors utilize and grade students on the use of WebCT. Sweet! I get a grade based on my ability to view 404 pages...or if the server is actually responding to requests, 500 error pages!
