It's very possible Loston is waiting on an ind. study test

A couple of people have posted claims that Loston is waiting on a test score for a correspondence course... and the overwhelming reaction so far has been: "BS!! you get ur scores like the same day!! something fishy is going on!"

As a former TA that graded tests for two lower-level independent study courses, let me tell you... At this time of year there is a HUGE backlog of crap to deal with.

A lot of kids enroll in the max # of independent study courses over the summer and dont get around to finishing until just before Fall semester starts. I think many of them are in a situation where if they don't finish they will get some of their Fall classes purged--because your independent classes count against your total number of hours, and there is a cap on that, etc.

And even though with our tests everything was multiple choice (albeit hand-written), you'd be surprised how long they can take to grade and then log into the system....especially when there is a lazy TA who is trying to catch up on his own shite before the start of the semester, and the prof doesn't give a damn, etc.

I always gave the football players highest priority, but that was only because I knew their names. I'm honestly not too confident Miles' staff really tries to intervene with this stuff. And even if they did, I'm sure some profs would tell them to go f*** themselves unfortunately.
