Blackboard

[Yar]

Why do I have to deal with this junk every day of my college career. It never works the way it should. It falls out of order whenever the smurf it wants. It has a mind of it's own.

I was pulling an A in my Ethnicity class this semester. That is, until Blackboard decided it was okay to delete some of my scores. My grade fell to a D. My teacher surprised me one day with an email saying "please contact me so we can work out a way to make sure you pass my class." wtf? Anyway there "was no way to prove" that I even had those scores, so she gave me 0s for all those quizzes and assignments. Right I'll be lucky to pull a C.

But of course, she's decided to make sure we all turn in out final assignments on Blackboard, so it's decided to take a once again. "You didn't turn in your assignment".

"Uhh, yeah I did." *sends .jpg saying the assignment was submitted Apr 24.*

She tells me to go to the technology center to see if they can make it work. They got it to work. Why can't she??

So I'll probably end up failing this class because my 70 year old professor cannot operate a technology that is a faulty piece of e in the first place.

Why can't we just use regular ways to do assignments? What's wrong with typing and printing an essay??

Do you hate Blackboard too???

That's weird. I've used blackboard for many classes and never had a problem with it. It must just hate you or something.

She won't let you E-Mail the assignments to her? Or just print them out and give her hard copies?

[Yar]

No and she has a good reason not to: she's a stupid bitch.

[qwertysaur]

Do it anyway and talk to the head of the department, and if the technology center can get blackboard to work properly then you have proof that the work is submitted.

You are paying for this class, and if you do all the work you deserve the credit for completion.

I never had a problem with Blackboard. Hell, I took a lot of online classes and never had a problem.

I get you on stupid bitch teachers though. My ASL III teacher graded you based on how worthy she felt you were on becoming a part of Deaf culture. And she wasn't even a Deaf person herself. xP

I've never had a single problem with Blackboard before. I'm sorry it's so smurfed up for you.

[Jiro]

It works for me perfectly fine*. It's my hardcopies that mysteriously go missing.

*Except when it frequently crashes, but then everybody suffers, not just me.

[Yar]

I'm surprised you've never had it smurf up on you. Once every couple of days there's someone complaining about it on Facebook, and we all go to different universities.

[rubah]

the only problem I've ever had with blackboard is that either teachers use it inefficiently or occasionally it's down

[Psychotic]

I've never used blackboard and thought this was a thread about actual blackboards, and I was excited to share my favourite blackboard story! I'll do it anyway though. In one of my classrooms, the blackboard was actually just the wall painted black with a wooden frame around it! Yeah, it didn't work very well.

I hate smurfing Blackboard.

One time I took a test and I saved EVERYTHING. I saved after every question.

It still timed out. And it still LOST EVERYTHING I HAD ON THE TEST.

smurf Blackboard!

[Shauna]

I believe the correct term is "Chalk Board".

[Madame Adequate]

I never had a problem with Blackboard. Had a problem in that Reading didn't think I existed, but that got fixed after a couple days.

[Yar]

Failed my class. I'm so sad now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this.
