PowerWeb…Here or in the Pier?

Powerweb, Personalized Options With Easy Registation on the Web.  It’s the latest thing at Piedmont Virginia Community College.  But what is it?  The PowerWeb brochure states that it enables you to access personal student information and enroll into classes on the internet which can be used from any computer.  On PowerWeb, you are able to review courses for availability and status.  Add, drop or swap classes.  Pay tuition with a credit card.  Review or print schedule, and other things.

But it is well known and experienced by this reporter that PowerWeb is terrible for quite a few reasons (listed below).  Back in the better days, you could simply fill out one form, have it signed and be well on your way.  Here, it’s just click, click, click…”Huh?!”…click, click…. It’s appalling!  So, in this reporter’s opinion, REQUEST the good old forms and KILL PowerWeb!

Why PowerWeb Stinks on ICE.

1.  It is FORCED as the ONLY way to enroll into PVCC.
2.  There is no alternative to enrolling, because they
took away the original registration forms.
3.  It’s NOT user-friendly.
4.  It was not designed for the computer illiterate.
5.  It’s very unethical.
6.  There is no person-to-person contact.
7.  High risk of lost connection while figuring it out.
8.  Much LONGER waiting time.
9.  It’s too much trouble to deal with.
10.  It had too much advertising to give a darn.

*Hard Love Quest*
By. Christian W. Chandler
January 18, 2004

Here you see, a sad and lonesome Christian C.  Without girlfriend love he feels an older age, as he is still “Stuck as a virgin with rage.”  He search low and high to the end, the only delay is the fear of being already beaten by a BOYFRIEND.  Why do all the girls have to be already taken… a real shame, boyfriends of all girls of possible matches for me are really LAME.  As I sit and sigh, I watch the girls go by.  Afraid of a lame intersecption, I sit out in the open without hesitation.  Matching Girl descriptions are free, I wish one girl would notice and approach me.  It would be way past cool, per-say, if I could get a girlfriend by Valentine’s Day.  But for now as you see, I am a sad and lonesome “C.”
