WebCT itself has gone down completely. It rarely actually goes down, but there are many times when it lags.

I assume that you are working on the chem quiz.

if you haveSAVEDall your answers, then you do not need to submit the quiz. It will do it for you. I can't stress the saved part enough because you would be shocked how many people don't know the difference between not saving and saving an answer in WebCT

Another thing I can recommend is DO NOT EMAIL the profs. 5000 people are going to email them, and they are just going to get pissed. And anyone can tell you, dont peeve anyone who has control over your marks, job, or money.

If it stays down, then no quizes will submit *hint hint*, so you have a window of opportunity. Plus, I am sure some profs will extend it a day or so.

Finally, its a good lesson to get things done ahead of time lol Good luck bud

I've been able to get in for short periods too, but it goes down right after so I wouldn't have been able to do much.
