Blackboard issue

kev_s88

okay just went on to blackboard there to check for any announcements...

basically im still getting announcements for Philosophy even though ive dropped it in favour of Information Studies.just wondering will it automatically update my courses on Blackboard or do i have to do it myself??

if i have to do it myself could someone please show me how?

I've switched around my courses a couple of times, and generally it takes Blackboard a day or two to catch up. I wouldn't worry about it for the time being.

Where abouts do ya go to download the lecture content that everyone and the lecturers keep going on about? I can't see it anywhere or is it not up yet?

It's often well hidden in a folder called 'Course Documents' if memory serves me right.

Blackboard can take up to 3 days to get itself settled when you register - sit tight, it does usually work.

Totally up to the lecturer. When I looked at Blackboard a couple of weeks ago, I was seeing content for my new courses that had been up since last September.

Where were ya's looking in Blackboard to see this stuff? My Blackboard, Courses, Resources?

Two of my English modules aren't up on Blackboard. Is it because they're new or that I haven't fully registered?!

Ive been signed up for Quantitive Analysis for Business since the beginning of last year despite not getting a place in it.

@BlackMamba, not all courses use blackboard, it's up to the lecturer.

are any other premeds having problems accessing the physics notes?
help

The first week or two of term blackboard can be a bit all over the place, to be fair, they are dealing with a lot of people switching modules etc and general late registrations.

Lilith, send in an email and say it to the lecturer you have for Physics. Is it still Mercer?

Lecturers like to know about these issues too and sometimes them sending an email can be more effective than a bunch of students sending them.

lilith

mercer? yep, i think so...
i'll do that anyway, thanks for the help! i wouldnt mind but physics scares the hell out of me :P still, its only premed!!

seraphimvc

sometimes i think that there is too much this kind of question on the forum :S

send en email to the helpdesk!

*i am just demanding we deserve some 'service charge' from the school...especially some boardsie are so patience and very helpful at this time of the year*
