Sounds reasonable:)

One of his emails was a bit confusing...I wasn't sure what he was referring to when he said gremlin...possibly the receptionist?

GO AND SEE MAC IN PERSON!!!!
Yes, do that. He is a most helpful dude.

.........because recptionist people are generally dumb shits who really don't care if you're enrolled properly or not...
Boy, that's really offensive.
We ARE arrogant, aren't we?

It's also really wrong when it comes to the UWSP Law School admin people.
If you are nice to them, they will help.

OTOH, if you come across as yet another up-stuck first year who thinks they are God's Gift to Academe,
then don't be surprised if you get treated with f**k-you attitude in return.

They have seen hundreds of people before, just like you.
And you know, you are probably not the first person with your problem.
And guess who will probably know the answer to your problem?
That's right, the Law School Admin Staff.

Yeah if you read the thread in its entirety you would have seen that it was the solution...

For some reason I have the feeling that she wasn't being entirely serious with her comment?
In all honesty...wtf? I'm sure people know the general rule of life - Be a c$%^, be treated like one.
MelSC already pointed out I wasn't the only one with that problem...hell, I even knew I wasn't the only one with the problem. And guess what...I just listed all the people who had no idea how to answer my problem but I finally found a solution...so why the bitching?

Yeh blah blah blah... fine, you think they're nice... you've obviously talked to different staff members to the ones that myself and pretty much all the people at uni i'm' friends with who do law have dealt with...

Regardless of whether my comment was serious or not, ask any number of students - generally, teh admin staff know very litle and aren't helpful because it is NOT THEIR JOB! to deal with enrolment and the l ike - that's the reason why Mac/Stephen are written down as the course coordinator, i.e. person to see with enrolment isuses... it doesn't say "School of Law staff" for a reason...

The admin staff are there primarily to assist as receptionists and in administrative tasks NOT "student issues" so to speak - if you have enrolment issues you will NEVER be directed to them, you will be directed to ACADEMIC staff.

They will not know the answer to the problem.... and besides, even if they did - they can't do anything about it - they don't have the authority too - only your course coordinator has the authority to vary your enrolment. They are called administrative staff for a reason - i.e. they do not deal with "academic issues", they are simply there to deal with administrative tasks to deal with eth school, and enrolment is not purely administrative, it is an academic issue.

I can only assume you are either one of/related to/friends with personally teh admin staff because no one else would feel a need to call that comment "really offensive"...

If that was directed to me - that's pretty amazing that i can manage to be a "stuck up first year" after THREE years of uni at uws :rolleyes:

if not, just because you're pissed off with the attitude/competence of UWS staff doens't make you a "stuck up first year" - it probably just indicates you have half a brain and are frustrated like everyone else at the way the staff manage to make the simplest tasks complicated, or the way that a simple and reasonable request is taken almost as though it was a personal insult to them or something...

Speaking of units (Off-topic but I don't want to make a new thread). Has anyone here ever done their core units last? I feel these first year subjects are way too boring and only 1 subject for my first year course is an actual pre-requisit for my 2nd and 3rd year subjects. I feel like doing all the stuff I want to do first and then leave the boring shit for last.

I did one of my core units last. It turned out to be pretty easy, but was a pain in the arse sitting it with first year students .. for numerous reasons.

Gremlin is a generic term for technical problems in technological systems
