Public Education Today, Tomorrow, Forever...

I've been spending the last day checking and rechecking the Individual and the Group Session Time Sheets to make sure the calculation are working properly. So far, the online forms are working just fine. Right now, this will have to suffice for the Sessioners and the students to use to submit their Session times. Having both of them to submit their times provides a comparison to check the times submitted to make sure they are accurate and if not, why? Beside being able to submit their times, the Sessioners and the students will also be required to submit what they did and what did they or did not accomplish during the Session. I wish I could use these forms forever, but later, they will have to be replaced because the user interface doesn't allow me to do everything that I need to do and if I change any part of the form, the data in the dbase will be lost.

Initially, I believed that using the subject name would be the best option to use in the public search and in the private search for locating Sessions. But, after having some students use the search services, they didn't like it. The students thought it would be a better idea to use the subject name as a category and insert a class name input field. By doing this, they believe it would be faster and a more efficient way to find the Session they're looking for. After much thought and more talking with the students, I agreed to what they were saying and had the coder change the searchers. From what I've seen so far, it looks like its the right thing to do. In the future, I'll let you know how the changes work out.
