Several years ago I took my first online class at Green River Community College. It sounded like a great idea as I was also working, the idea that I could work on homework whenever I could fit it into my schedule and didn't have to drive to the school was attractive. This was before GRCC offered students their own email accounts. My email account was "missbertie". I was registered in the class as Bert. We were required to work on projects with other students via the "blackboard". 1) It was extremely difficult to get other students on-line at the same time (most of them wanted to wait until about an hour before the assignment was due). 2) Assignments I'd completed kept not being in the gradebook. 3) The teacher was extremely difficult to get in touch with.
I didn't figure out until the end of the quarter when my grades were posted that the teacher was grading "missbertie" and "Bert" separately. Once he put the two grades together it was an A.
