Jim- Lest I wasn't clear, I meant the flames and smoke from their phones overheating. I wished them no harm as they are really nice folks! :) Sorry for the extra post.

Jim- Re problems per se with WebAdvisor (we've been using it for quite a while). I think the uploading issue is one of programming (by your campus staff) and security issues/policies. While I don't think it makes a great deal of sense in some ways to re-enter the data it doesn't seem to be that much of a problem here. However, I suspect if you have large classes you it would be a bigger issue indeed!! Our only issue of substance so far was the programmer set the time features so short that you pretty much had to do everything one step at a time- but they fixed that right after the flames and smoke cleared from their offices. :) (Oh. The students seem to dislike the system. Unless you actually take some data. No one seems to comment that they like it but you get lots of "don't like it" comments. Our data indicate that the effect size for dislike is larger than for those who like it but that the majority of folks have no particular view positive or neagative- but what's to like if it works?) :) Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

Dorothy Parker -----Original Message----- From: Jim Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 8/21/2008 1:40 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] WebAdvisor Advice? Hi We're just implementing WebAdvisor. To my knowledge, faculty input has been minimal and I'm wondering if people experienced with WebAdvisor have any suggestions from the faculty perspective. For example, does anyone know if it is possible to import/upload grades into webadvisor rather than entering them manually into the fields? It seems strange to take grades from one electronic file (dbase in my case) and enter them manually into another electronic file. Problems faculty have encountered would also be of interest to me.
