Miss Communications

Well, I’m now enrolled – or at least part enrolled – in my new course (the prelude to my new job and grand new career! Remember?)
The road to enrolment has not exactly been smooth. And the problems, disturbingly, have mostly related to poor communication. Does this bode well for learning good practices? Maybe it’s a test. When I front up for the first tute in Communications 101, perhaps we’ll all be asked to critique the process?
Last week prospective students received their confirmation of the offer of a place in the course on the same day as another envelope which contained an invitation to attend a pre-enrolment session – scheduled for that same evening. I’m figuring attendees were low at the information session.
Then, true to form, this morning in the midst of enrolments the computer system crashed. Nothing doing. Enrolments were checked by hand. Confirmations will be sent when the data can be entered into the system. And we all have to go back at an alternate time to pick up student cards. A bit annoying.
Still the two subjects I’m taking look good, and I’m really looking forward to starting. Bring it on!
