Title: Units - blackboard/home page fail
Post by: kendraaaaa on July 15, 2010, 08:16:35 pm
I switched a unit after allocated closed so things got a little whack on mymonash. On my homepage it has the new unit (MKC1200) but on blackboard it has the old one (EUR1100). On my timetable it's got the new unit, but what's confused me a bit is that I'm still getting emails from the EUR1100 co-ordinator about various things.

Can anyone make sense of all of this crap?

Simple: Monash administration sucks.


Just give it a couple of days... usually units don't appear on blackboard until start of semester... I've only got one of my sem 2 units up so far.

This is normal and has happened to me a few times. Just wait a few days and Blackboard will sort itself out - no need to stress.

Thanks guys. This sorta shit happened last semester as well haha. Would it be stupid to assume an institution such as a university would be well organised? Guess it is!

LOL!!

I ended up with a 2008 unit for a few weeks during the middle of this semester.
It just mysteriously appeared then disappeared again.

For my eng subject, there was one short email at about 8pm the day before our first class. In our first lecture, our lecturer told us that yes, we all had our 4 hour pracs that day and we had to get onto blackboard and to go to a signup form to choose our prac groups.

Luckily for me this semester none of the pracs are in first week. However so far MTH2010 has yet to put any information up besides having the subject up on blackboard

You should cut them some slack. They do have to process 30,000+ worth of students subjects. Mistakes are highly likely
