Defending the Position
That I have to make the walk from one end of the campus across the street to the portable classrooms could be seen as being my fault for having signed up for the classes, but in my defense, i didn't know and had no way of being able to know exactly where these classes were going to be. It seems like they could rearrange class schedules so that all the classes could fit in actual class rooms. Sure, Salt Lake Community College should focus on teaching and their classes, but what's the point if no one can make it to these classes, at least not on time? I'm sure that they could consolidate classes and their times better to make it work. Part of the appeal of going to SLCC is that there are small classes, sure, but just by bumping the class schedules around a little bit it seems like they could get them to fit right with out ruining the small community college charm. Having to make the walk is bad enough, but having to do it in the cold makes it worse. I can drive my car over there, but then I have to make two left turns on the same busy street and that takes about as long as it would to have walked it. They could have at least put the portable classrooms somewhere more accessible. If they were to have done that, however they would have made the parking situations that's already bad as it is even worse, as unimaginable as that might seem. The solution to that would be that they should try to find a place big enough to hold all of it's classes instead of creating a thousand extensions that hardly make getting to them worth it. But the best solution would be to get rid of the portable classrooms all together and just rearrange the class schedules to make them fit.

I obviously agree, IF they can re-arrange the schedules to make all classes fit, that's the best solution. But for some reason I think they already tried to do that, and that's why we have the portable classrooms.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the location of the relocatables are kind of out of the way but it's not too bad. I have one class in the relocatables and I don't mind it too much. I make it to class on time everytime so I guess it just depends on the class location beforehand.
