Egrades

An interesting email telling me why I can't submit my students' "egrades":

The system is heavily overloaded at egrades time. Response times are made slow by a heavy influx of students checking their grades, and the processor never gets a chance to recover because they just keep pounding on the system, making response times worse.

A system critical to the university's smooth functioning at a critical time. High demand not a surprise.
