Recently I have seen people upset that they cannot enroll in a class as it says on the class page that it is full... Example Quote: Oh no! For once I am confident I'll be able to attend to the staff class, and it is full! Just my luck... -- Darth BamseGeneraly go along anyway, the instructer will most likely allow you to join in, (I personaly have never seen anyone turned away). The sad truth is that half the people who enroll probably wont turn up and i expect the instructer is expecing those half to be replaced by non enrollers, Remeber that if everyone does turn up and the Instructer asks you not to participate you must obviously not do so , a class of 20 students would be very hard to manage imp  Also if time is limited or there are duel lines (duel line = dueling instructer 1 at a time so they can pick up on your weaknesses) then don't be surpised if those who did enroll are given priority there ya go, basicly a reminder if class is full, all is not lost happy learning (correct if wrong jak+ blokes) _______________ Quote: fiZZe: its SIR Fizzy Fluffy :p Quote: FiZZ[JAK]: that was what I call a counter Ah, things you only ever expect to hear once |

Quote: The term 'enrolling' then seems illogical though. i won't argue with that  but the rule IS "don't sign up for a class unless you CAN make it." at the same time, we just can't punish people willy nilly for missing as life always gets in the way of the fun stuff here (actually now that i've checked i don't see the above "rule" actually written anywhere. maybe we could add something along those lines or some short bit of clarifying text above the class schedule form on the classes page?) _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

Quote: don't try to make it so black and white Halendor Well, I see that if it's only used to measure the number of students that approximately will come to the class, it's an O.K. system. The term 'enrolling' then seems illogical though. |

if the limit needs to be enforced the person teaching the class can make that explicit in the class description. otherwise as it is, it's a good way to measure intent. so the instructor can say, "ok there are about X number of people who ARE planning to come to my class, so i have an idea of what to expect." if it were not used at all, then the instuctor wouldn't have a clue if anyone was planning to show for the class or not. don't try to make it so black and white Halendor _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

OK, so make the enroll-system an option per class. If it doesn't really matter how many students show up, don't use it. If it does (e.g. Virtue's Flying Class), enable the system. It's just that I think it's illogical to use the system the way it's currently used. Having people enrolled in a class really doesn't say anything about if they'll come or not, and if there won't be a stricter policy concerning not showing up, well, what's the point? |

na, I say its still needed, what if some one wants to teach a class with a smaller class size, its better to have people enroll. So the teachers can keep track of how many of the max students alowd are there and stuff. _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.

How about removing the whole enrolling system? Clearly, it's not effective. |

Quote: Well, either increase the limit of students for each class Won't work, although about half usualy dont show, they may do and if they do its unfair to say there are to many if you allowed that many to enroll Quote: or make sure the people who sign up but don't show up are 'punished' Hey some times accidents do happen; parents ban you, or your PC breaks, grandparents come over un expected, or die! all unannounsed but all valid reasons to miss a class that you shouldn't be punished for. Even teachers somtimes miss classes *COUGH* FiZZ *COUGH*, and i don't think JAK+ blokes (i'm stickin with it flash  )would like to be punished very much, though would be funny to see FiZZ getting told off b...... I blabber, /me gets back on topic so I think maybe if they miss 3 - 5 classes in a week that could be ok as its a very unlucky person who misses that much. People could enroll 5 mins before class, i can't think of the problem with this at the moment but i'm sure some will abuse it somehow Quote: by not letting them sign up for classes for a week. What about people who just don't sign up, is the idea of all this that you think they cannot go to class if not signed up ? _______________ Quote: fiZZe: its SIR Fizzy Fluffy :p Quote: FiZZ[JAK]: that was what I call a counter Ah, things you only ever expect to hear once

Well, either increase the limit of students for each class, or make sure the people who sign up but don't show up are 'punished'; e.g. by not letting them sign up for classes for a week. But until something is done about it, it is indeed safe to assume you can join the class, even it says on the page it's full. |
