TYCHO sucks

Posted in General at 11:48 am

So TYCHO is the online system the University of Washington uses for homework assignments and to track exam grades, among other things (the system was a “gift” from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign). Undergrads hate it with a holy passion.

I just got out of meeting with the person who currently administers the TYCHO system. She inputs grades, fixes problems, etc. That thing is ten times worse on the administrative side…it’s just awful. I can’t express how ridiculous and time-consuming that system is. Whoever wrote it should be shot. My head started to hurt just *watching* some of the administrative tasks.

Yeah…wow.
