While not everyone can agree that they can relate to the problems of having a class out at the portables, they have at least been able to sympathize and see how this could cause some problems.  Not everyone has had the misfortune of having to deal with making it over to the portable classrooms and if they have, they might have even been lucky enough to have had their next or previous class as close to the portable classrooms as is possible.  In that case, complaints about the long walk might seem petty, but after having had deal with this situation it has seemed far from it.  Others have suggested that any other possible solution that would have eliminated the PC's and the problems that come with them have already been looked at, but that the school's administration found this to be the best way of having it.  I'm not sure that that is the case, organizing class schedules and campus space is something that i think more thought could have been put into.  As SLCC has added classes it seems to have put them wherever they could because it's easier, but not more efficient, for them to do it that way than to look at the bigger picture.

  1. It would appear most certainly that the community college's problem may not in fact be lack of funds, but rather a messy infrastructure. If costs could be within the business, then there could be better opportunities for them to manage the size of classes. Removing courses which don't turn a profit would probably be the a good beginning.
