When I stated that I received the finally CRN list on Saturday, what I guess I really meant was the final list for that day. They've yet again scrunched the CRNs down, which means I'll need to completely revamp everything I did on Saturday. I just about crawled under the table and cried when I was told. Oh well, since I've already done it once, I hope it won't take nearly as long to do it again. I'll need to sort the students based on what CRN they are registered for, split each group into two teams, pull out a few special cases to make sure they are in a specific group, and assign mentors and fellows to each group (including a couple special cases there). When I can write out everything that needs to be done in one sentence, you'd think it wouldn't take very long...wrong. I have to jump back and forth between databases, create temp tables, sort, resort, match up and put it all into one table. I'm trying to figure out a way to automate as much as possible, but I haven't been able to come up with it.
I just got back from another meeting in the Writing Center to go over all the HowTo's I've written for Wiki. Fortunately, they seem to be happy with them and I don't think I'll need to change much for them. I've written a HowTo on registration, creating groups, and making a team page. I'll make these links available on the students info page, wiki help, freshman academy page, writing center page, and available to all lab attendants so they can help the freshmen wade through each step.
I'm off to be introduced at convocation, then I'll continue working until my meeting with the mentors this afternoon to show them how to get to their page for information on their students.
