Comment from FacultyComment from Faculty
“I think that Vista and other online program software is still in the improvement stages. Some of the functions that are more cumbersome will probably become easier. Right now, Vista serves our purposes well.”
Comment from Comment from StudentsStudents
“It is a very helpful program, because I am able to access all of the notes and announcements I need. However, some professors do not know how to use this program very well and our homepages end up to be a mess & that makes it difficult to find the information we need. Perhaps more training would be helpful????”
