Canvas carnival and other first day circus events

Posted on by

I couldn’t get Canvas to cross list courses until I deleted them. So I deleted. Then, oops, that didn’t work either. Now I have to wait till I get a new Canvas course created (which I can’t do) to re-import the information from. Thankfully I do still have that. Canvas Hero (BF) showed me how to do that. I wouldn’t have deleted otherwise. That would have been oh so bad.

But still, I told the students it would be up by 5, because that is what I expected. And it’s not up yet.

Guess I will keep watching.

Class went fine. 50 minutes is not long enough for ANYTHING…

Got the classes, syllabi, calendars, and Canvas courses ready for tomorrow. No crazy cross listing needed there.

Got a speaker for Thursdays business class. Awesome.

Need to contact the people from the challenge to see if we can do the paperwork for class. I’ll ask DH for admin’s name and contact info tonight. It would be way better if I knew whether it could be done before I get to class tomorrow.

The facilities people left the a/c on in my office over the weekend, thank goodness, because it was still plenty warm.

Dad’s living situation

Posted on by

The uni news said that they may be purchasing where Dad lives and turning it into dorms. They’ll decide by end of Sept. Residents will have to be out by Feb. Don’t know if that means he won’t be able to renew his lease and will have to be out by Oct. 15. That won’t be wonderful. I’ll be trying to teach and find him a place to live. That was not fun last time.

But, then again, we know where most of the options are now, so that should make it somewhat more simple.
