Post by: connej on July 14, 2013, 11:19:19 am
Just wondering if everyone can access the LMS for second semester subjects?

I can only access one of mine at the moment

Not yet. The new LMS looks good, though I'm pretty upset with the grades display section.

I'm having the same thoughts; I like everything but the grades display :(

You just need to refresh. (you shouldn't need to though, i think this should be fixed)

Other than that I think the My Grades is fine. It is sorted by date so you can see exactly what is your most recent results. If you want to backtrack your results then just click on "Subjects" and its exactly like it was in the previous lms.

Looks wise, I think it looks alot more streamlined with the new portal. It's also good that they didn't choose to make drastic changes to the functionality of the lms overall so it is still easy to use.

In terms of release of Semester 2 subjects, it is usually 2 fridays before the start of the semester. So I'm guessing you will lose access to your Semester 1 subjects and see your new subjects on Friday the 19th of July.

|: I haven't even registered in classes for one subject and I have work 9-5 tomorrow, COOL.
(The relevance of the latter statement being that registration for the subject will open tomorrow at 10).

damn... ask to go on a toilet break an hour or 30 min after 10am to bypass any potential for lag and sign up on your smart phone.

I just went to print the timetable I had thus far and registration was open! \o/ all my worries just swept away.

Supposedly the new subjects are set to come up by next Friday, though I'm not sure if there's any truth to that rumour, as I'm not quite sure where they got it from. Originally they had said that the new subjects would show up after the maintenance, but that proved incorrect. I guess it's potentially true though!
