WE are all having diffficulty with various internet online issues. I extended timelines for Homework Manager this morn, at least I think I did. Let me explain aquirk of HM.

If a student is on HM, the system is locked. Which is to say the instructor cannot change the assgnments as the assumptiont is that the assignment should not be changed until the student has finished wokring on it. With a couple of dozen students randomly working on whichever problem at whatever time, you would be amazed to learn that this happens A LOT!!!!!

The rationale makes sense but makes it no easier to instantly make changes. So be patient, change despite what McCain and Obama tell you, does not happen instantly, HIllary got that one right in her comment about just proclaimg ou are going to change something and voters believing you can make it happen. Sicne I arrived a couple of weeks ago

Human resources enrollment took two weks by computer even though the person came up form Kingsville, she did not take care of it when she was here tgelling us to go on line, well we

uld not get on the system, and I listened to voice mail eveyr time I called Kingsville. So it took two weeks to ge me signed up in what used to be a paper and pencil event.

You will notice you have my personal e mail address, this is because Kingsville has still not gotten my tamuk address working.

WEB  CT has the students in my and Ms. Chapman's class reversed.  And there is much more but why go into all that here.

I spent most of a day trying to get my pay pal account operative, I finally gave up and wired the guy the money thru my bank.

My point is that i realize there are problems, we will work through them.

And so it goes, I too have difficulties. I realize you do too and you will not be penalized at this point, this of course assumes I can get all this working before the end of the semester….

Gee we never had these problems when high tech consisted of a Big Chief Tablet and a pencil.
