I have completed 10 classes this term and am in my 11th right now. Four of my courses have been delayed. I have been very frusrated with the delays as well. They are not holding professors accountable. Brightspace is clearly a mess right now, and I have audited three of the courses with siginifcant changes. Advice to those struggling with delays:
1. Email the professor before the 72 hours are up, kindly letting them know the deadline is approaching and you wanted to make sure they got the notification. This helped.
2. Cody, your academic support contact, is also busy being a professor of his own course. He is very slow getting back at times, and this is supposed to be his area, not Jessica's. All he has the ability to do when you bring a 72 hour delay to his attention is email the professor as well. Obviously, this is not helpful if you have already emailed. Complete this step to check the box.
3. Next, call the school operator and kindly ask to speak to the professor of the course you are taking. They will not be able to connect you, as the school doesn't have the remote professors cell numbers. You will likely be connected with another professor in that department, which actually worked well for me once, or with Director Susan Chang, who oversees the whole program. When Susan gets involved, things suddenly get done. But you better have exhausted all previous steps before you try to talk to her. But I hope this helps!
Also, don't take Business 489. It is awful and has 14 Milestones! I am worried I may take them the rest of the term to grade it!
