Because then it means
NO MORE BLOODY ONLINE MATH CLASSES.
Thank you CSU. Thank you for
breaking your software the first week of class, shutting off almost everyone. Thank you for fixing it... so now everyone
but me can log in.
Good thing I have a deadline of two weeks to fix this stupid piece of **** thing. I reset my password, reset my serucity questions... absolutely **** nothing. GOOD. GOING. Now I can't even get started on this stupid class because I CAN'T FREAKING LOG ON.
Why do universities have the worst websites you can imagine?!? You're training better people. -_-;

Online math classes are a complete freaking joke. I don't think I've ever met anybody who took one that wasn't a glitch-ridden mess.

When they're not using something like MyMathLab, they're using some kind of in-house software. that they are a little TOO proud of.

I never had a single online math course in uni. Is this something new? Am I behind the times? Does that make me old? QUIET WITH THE RACKET YOU WHIPPERSNAPPERS!

It's new. I didn't have any either, but Truman State started introducing them as an option for the core-level classes when I was in my 2nd year of grad school. I had to tutor several of my younger housemates for the whole semester since they had no actual instruction, & I got to see firsthand how badly the Aleks interface works.
Since then, I've had a few clients doing online math instruction with various software, all of which sucked. (The software, not the students.)

Great. Universities want to keep charging more and more from students and then aren't giving them professors for some classes?

At least at Truman, the online course is an option, not a requirement; they still have classroom sections of those courses too.

That depends on the university you're attending.
We're using the same buggy software that people used
in the 1990s - and the videos were even recorded in the bloody 1990s, meaning the voices are quite staticy. And what happens if you view them on a modern computer?
That's correct! It stretches them out and dithers the hell out of it even more than the low-end-consumer-cameras used to record them already did!
