    Honestly, i didn't know webcurses had that functionality, but tbh i don't think it would work as well as facebook, especially if you have some idiot in your group who doesn't do anything, facebook is quite a good way of tracking them down!

    Well that's hardly the fault of actual good work doing folks.

    There is a chat function in web courses, mail function. You can use it easily. Maybe if Facebook wasn't available they would be more inclined to actually use it.

    Why are some lecturers so unorganised? We have a Spanish oral tomorrow, our lecturer was meant to email us at some point last week to let us know when what time we have them at so we don't have to wait around for the three hours that the class is on. Of course she hasn't emailed us yet. :mad:

    People are pretty passive agressive about people being on facebook in the library. If the library is full, people are on facebook and you need a PC then ask either confront them or ask someone at the librarys reception if they could help you out. And specifically for the guy sleeping at the PC, wake him up and tell him to piss off.

    Oh it also annoys me that the libraries are only open until 9, and 5 on Friday. It's a bit ridiculous, it'd make more sense if they were open later, especially at the moment when exams/assignments are due.

    invest in a printer, well worth it! i got a a3 printer & a4 scanner for 140. handiest thing ever. if you have full colour page prints though its cheaper in college.
    there are a few other printers dotted around the college too that people tend to forget about

    people talking in the silent study area. i dont give a **** if ya actually are working, ya might as well be talking about the football

    I want to like webcourses, but just can't. Some of our lecturers use it, some use the older class-specific online forum, and some use totally different file-sharing websites.

    Seriously lecturers, choose ONE method for everyone and stick to it. I'm sick of checking three different systems to see if something has been uploaded. :mad:

    Same. Between webcourses, Webex and aplia (last year only) its a pain in the hole.

    When we brought it up, the response we got was "you're all intelligent people, surely you can manage it"

    It bugs the sh1t out of me when there's a printer not working because of a paper jam and all you have to do is fix it as per the instructions on the LCD screen and they just stand there, like, ffs, not that difficult!

    It's quite obvious who your talking about in this post. We don't allow any kind of insults towards named college or SU Staff.

    As thete was no name, there's no warning, but careful in the future

    I log in the walk off to get books that I want for study. When I get back its usually logged in. If I don't need any books I make sure to use computers in labs

    I don't know if anyone else here has noticed the heat in DIT aungier street's lecture halls recently. If you were wondering its because the guy who knows how to change the heating is on two weeks holiday and the campus secretary is regularly absent

    Cathal brugha street still haven't given us a date for exam results. So annoying.

    Also being told I'm not allowed to use my job for my work placement even thought its the exact type of place I'll be sent anyway. Bah.
