Sometimes I get e-mails from the local college where I teach a course and it just makes me laugh. An e-mail came in the other day reminding professors about where they can go on the college’s website in order to find the building codes in case students ask. Building codes are the abbreviations that the school uses to squeeze the name of a building onto a small piece of paper. For example, JerseySmarts.com Hall would either break into JSH or JH. Get it?
Anyway, I got a kick out the e-mail below because it shows just how “easy” it is to find these building codes on the college’s website.
Good morning, faculty. This is just a reminder that classroom building codes and locations may be found on the college website at academics, registration and records, important information and links, resources, classroom locations.
Am I the only one who finds that hilarious? Ha ha! “Please go to point A and then look for Point B. Once you find Point B, please search for Point C. At the time when you find Point C, there should be an option for Point D. Now, when you’re at Point D you should have access to Point E – and that’s where you’re trying to go!”
Wouldn’t it have been easier for the folks who sent this message to just put the actual link in the body of the e-mail? Ha ha!
