Does anyone think that it should be E.L.M. instead of pronouncing it Elm-which sounds like a tree or something. its wierd how I never thought of just saying Elm lol

Why didn't they test this thing out with the numbers that will be accessing it now during the summer or something...? So slow so slow..

Once/If its fixed it should be so much better than webCT.

Ya, I'm sure it'll be okay once they get all the kinks out.

I bet SOLAR is enjoying this. All of our complaining is now focused on the new guy.

Apparently a new feature of ELM is that it can handle quizes/ So 20 percent of our mark in one class is based on two quizes and the only thing is that they are timed- way stressful

Oh wow that sucks. I didn't mind doing timed quizes on webCT at all but there was like 20 of them and only worth 5% total. However, two at 20% sucks. That's kind of scary, what if something happens to your computer while you're doing it...:\
