Switched Keys

Tomorrow begins registration week at UT Tyler. For many it is when we confirm our classes and acquire the books for the next semester. For others, it is the time to troubleshoot what went wrong with on-line registration.

Last semester I remember hearing discussions about the problems with scholarships, not having grades, and my own issues of getting permissions to get into some classes. I'm ahead of the game this semester, but now there is a problem with campus connect.

Still it is a better system than getting a set registration time and packing into an auditorium (or coliseum) to select and register for classes. Many things are better with computer technology. One thing that may not be better is the trend toward on-line classes. The option is good; the possibility that it may at some point be required is not.
